It's actually really different, if it was just a port of the Windows version I
would have expected it to work better.

 AA> OK.  But look what "neat" for a little while cost you.  :/

Yeah, very true.  At least I got to dive into MacOS and learn more about it
before coming back to PC-Land.

As a personal user you can use 0Patch for free and have your Win7 machine
(somewhat) protected against PrintNightmare (among other things):

https://0patch.com/

I say "somewhat" because the patches produced my Microsoft don't appear to
fully fix the issue and even more vulnerabilities are being discovered in the
print spooler.  At least with 0Patch it checks in with the server and applies
the patches without the need for a reboot.
