Dirty, sure; but quick? I counted three reboots, patching tools, and several trips to random Internet DLL watering holes in there…
Made me nostalgic for the era of my life that involved tactics like “blindly fish around black-backgrounded webpages for sketchy patches from authors with names like -=TeAm MeGACOyoTE=-”
I went in expecting it to be quick (and to be like, just use DaVinci, dude), but I was pleasantly surprised by a flavor closer to “the madness of art”
For a long time Vegas was my only reason for keeping a PC. I still miss it. Da Vinci is fine, but it's still optimized for professional video editors, which means lots of weird concepts & things which should be easy are hard if you don't understand the history. Vegas' heritage is audio, so it's very fluid for taking a "compositional" approach to video, which makes it great for making music videos.
No, we see many of Windows 11 nuisances as something to put up with, if we want to the freedom to drive to the local PC store to have any problem sorted out, while having aquariums (which I personally hate), to compete with game consoles in capabilities.
Some of us appreciate the NeXTSTEP heritage on macOS but don't want to put up with prices, or soldered components, killing any kind of expansion.
Also many of us do have decades experience with Linux, but decided to save the time spent with Linux tinkering during our youth, by using local VMs or cloud instances.

Windows 7 has numerous unpatched vulnerabilities and Vegas Pro runs just fine on supported versions of Windows…
