Side question, why does every unsubscribe form have the exact same survey? Moat of the times they have identical choices down to the word, like "I no longer want to receive these messages", "I never signed up for this list", etc. No matter the type of content, the country of origin, or whatever, they are all the same. At one point it feels like they're all made by the same software company.

Windows XP started in 2001 and the last security update was released in 2014. For Windows 7, these dates are 2009 and 2020 respectively.

XP became very popular around 2002 and was very widely used until at least 2010. Vista didn't persuade a lot of people, so around 2010 the change over to 7 started. Then 8 was a flop, so the next big movement was around 2016-17 towards Windows 10 (which was released in 2015).

To sum up, the popularity of 7 started ~8 years after XP. I learned XP when I was 11. I would have to have a kid when I was 8 if I wanted the kid to experience 7 the same way I did with XP.

I just moved into an apartment alone. I realized 2 is not enough. I had one dirty, one that needed changing, and my washing machine needed two to be full (along with two towels), and they take 1-2 days to dry. We don't use tumble dryers here. So 3 is the magic number to always have one available while 2 are being washed.
