FranceBB Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Windows 7 has been one of the best Microsoft OS; now the support is over, but that didn't stop businesses from keep using it.

This topic is dedicated to the Spotters, namely people who see Windows 7 or its derivatives (Win 7 Embedded) running in the wild and take a picture.
