8 was all sorts of weird and clunky in the ui

Where I work we have brand new Media Servers for a 4 beamers video wall running on W7 - software vendor says it's the last "unobtrusive" windows that just does what it is told to do. Remote control is via whatever, but the servers are 7 and will stay so. VNC'ing into those is quite the time travel.

its getting dangerous to have these connected to the internet though

Personally I feel like Windows has been progressively getting worse after it peaked at Windows 2000.

Unless of course you're willing to expend the effort to set up Windows Server as a desktop and put up with the limitations you get there.
