i still remember staying up all night the night microsoft put build 7000 out publicly, downloading it and installing it to my laptop i had just gotten for christmas, being excited to play with all the new fancy shit that lockergnome (remember him?) was showing off in his demonstration video. i remember torrenting the RTM build when one of my friends said his school got laptops with windows 7 on them. i didn't use windows 7 100% of the time, alternating with XP and Vista on my different daily driver systems, but i always had atleast one system in my vicinity that ran windows 7 pretty much its entire publicly available life. so, it's definitely crazy to see it go, especially considering how wobbly its "replacements" are, but it was definitely fun while it lasted.
Dying of boredom, I'll try it all...
