Microsoft always follows the pattern of good OS, bad OS, good OS, bad OS. We just have to wait for Windows 12 for a good one.
10 sucked ass. It's the reason I stayed on Windows 7 way longer than I should have.
I did the same, and when I switched I just switched to Linux rather than another Windows version.
Then again I've been playing with Linux (and using it professionally on the server side) since the 90s, so am not at all representative of most people out there.
10 was good?
I liked it just fine. You have to admit it was good compared to 8.
I actually liked 8.1. 10 was fine until they started hiding all of the classic control panel settings and stuff behind their new ones and we got a total fustercluck of windows, buttons and options.
I'm absolutely amazed how they still don't seem to be able to rid themselves of the old control panel. The new settings menus still lack so many features. They've been around for almost 10 years now. What's going on there?
It's true:
3.0 - aka the Windows Protection Fault release 3.1/3.11/WFWG, now with far fewer WPFs 95 - I lost nearly a year of life waiting for it to reboot, again. 98! Second Edition TBF ME - Lets remove stuff and cause cause problems XP - SP2 - I can login before my PC is taken over by RPC calls from the Internet! Vista - UAC up the Longhorn ass 7 - took long enough 8 - 1.5 half complet OSes 10 - erased 1 OS, completed the other 11 - I am still waiting for file Explorer to open. Where is fileman.exe? It's so laggy, why does the context menu draw out one row at a time.
