Windows 7.
It was the peak of windows.
It was slick. It was fast. It was stable, and it was super easy to use. Never had a single problem with it, and unlike past windows OS's it didnt require regular reformats to clean house for stability.
Unfortunately its dead now, and Microsoft abandoned that approach and switched to a slow burn approach at walled gardening.
I use Linux now, have been for years, because I saw where microsoft was going when Win10 was in previews, and there was no way I was going to be part of it.. So I jumped ship as soon as EoL was announced for Win 7
Launch by hitting windows key and start typing (this is now a bullshit web search)
The taskbar was usable (fuck this app grouping)
Virtual desktops
Fast
Stable
Looked fine
Hit F8 for recovery options on boot
System rollback
