W10 was great. Was a huge improvement over 8.1 and helped modernize Windows to the current era. Was the first major overhaul of core systems since the switch NT.
Windows 10 was a fine OS but it doesn’t compare to the likes of 7 or XP in my opinion. If they weren’t discontinued I don’t think people would’ve switched.

XP and 7 were solid. Middle of 10 was good. End was a bit mid

W10 was awesome after a few years once they got it back up to par with 7, but the fact that for a good 3-4 years things like “search” were fucking broken still grinds my gears

Can we just get Windows 7 back again? Please?

The modernisation of windows 10 over 7/8 was so good. It made windows look up to date again and was honestly a great mix of customisability and convenience. I’m dreading the win10 eos, as I really don’t like win11 UI and how they tried to simplify customisability.

Lockscreen widgets (arguably advertising given the content…) like news, stocks, and weather on a fresh clean install of W10 Pro sent me over the edge. And internet search results in the start menu search when I just want to search for my own (local!) files and installed apps sealed the deal. I maintain exactly one windows machine and it’s an old Dell rugged latitude that I use for work. The rest of my machines are all on some flavor of linux now.
Hate one drive, hate office 365, hate getting annoying news and stock and weather pop-ups, hate Cortana, hate copilot, hate forced “upgrades” to Win11, and hate SAAS in general.

Would it be so difficult for Microsoft to just develop an OS that focuses on being an operating system instead of pushing their garbage products and having an online account with all their crappy telemetry? These things existed before, I don’t see why they are so hungry for data now. Why mess with your bread and butter? Just keep pumping out a solid product that gets the job done.

I got forced to windows 11 on my work PC. It’s a small thing but it drives me fucking crazy I can’t access the calendar from multiple screens. Only one monitor can be selected to access and the others don’t do anything. Seems like you lose more useful stuff and get a lot more annoying shit on 11. Resisting with 10 on the home rig as long as possible

10 was great, a solid 7, kinda boring the UI after some time

Windows ME. *Shivers* Stuff of nightmares.
Started bad, got good, finished bad
Honestly, I never had an issue with it
