Comes in handy. I was doing PS3 hacking a few months ago and most of the tools that were made for that work better on Windows 7. My main computer is an M3 Macbook Pro.

I tried using Windows 11 but it was so annoying. Not only it is huge, but also Microsoft was able to screw up the Windows OOBE process and overall Windows experience so badly. I don't want to setup a Microsoft account just to run these old programs. I mostly wanted a disposable Windows 7 box but I didn't even know if I would be able to make it work with virtualization (emulation maybe).

Wine actually worked great for me sometimes, but it was a bit of a hassle as well.
