Do you mean Windows Vista instead? Because Windows 7 was probably the last (half-)decent windows (no UI though for tablet, no ads in the OS, no ubiquitous telemetry, no account BS).

Yeah, my mistake. I spent the post-XP era on Linux and specially Ubuntu.

I've been using all three major OS families recently and I'm not enjoying my time on Windows. It's so full of ads, and the Linux / Unix bits feel bolted on.

Often gets confused because of same liquid-glass as vista.

Windows 7 was the last Windows version to still support the Classic theme: https://betawiki.net/images/d/da/Windows_7_classic_theme.png

I don’t see program manager there, what does “classic” mean?

[bigstrat2003]

The classic theme, in a Windows context, refers to the Win95-2000 look.
