Windows has always been generally bad; I only use it to play video games.

XP was much better compared to 3.1/95/98/Mistake Edition.

I would say it was pretty much a dumpster fire beyond 7, which was okay but Bills “Micro"&"Soft” mostly sold it because if you wanted direct x 12, you had to buy it. The irony was that plenty of developers didn’t even use dx12 and/or still supported dx11.

Windows 8…

Windows 10 is interesting. Overall it’s now more or less stable. But This is when the downfall became a meteor entering the atmosphere. Things that you didn’t ask for, breaking stuff, downloading garbage cr’applications you didn’t want or need. Reinstalling them. Forcing updates. Taking away control of your computer. And making just about everything a pain in the fucking ass.

Granted there was some light, LTSB/LTSC were pretty good. But of course what does MicroSlop do? Make it so you can’t update your nvidia drivers. (RTX) So yeah not sure if that was entirely on them or some sort of collusion.

And now there’s Windows 11. I will never get it. Over the years it’s impressive how much of a fuckup that shit is. I don’t even have the time to write out how fucked and shit it is.
