So they are going back to windows 7? Thats great news! For someone, probably. As for me I've moved to linux and I plan to stay a while.

I recently had to use a windows 7 VM at work, and I had completely forgotten just how fast that OS was. I can boot that VM, do what I have to, and shut it down again in the time it takes a windows 11 VM to figure out that it exists. I moved my personal stuff off windows, and I really wish it were possible for my work laptop.

Are you running these on an Etch-a-Sketch? I have a Win11 VM setup on my Linux Mint laptop using QEMU/KVM and it goes from powered off to desktop in 24 seconds. I could probably make it faster if I cared to do any tuning but sub 30 seconds is more than fast enough for what I need.

Sub 30 seconds is fine, but it's annoying when the windows 7 VM shows that sub 10 seconds used to be possible.
