Windows 8/10 introduced touch features that lots of people really wanted, so if you care about tablets at all I think that it’s reasonable to say that Microsoft Surface is probably the best tablet out there. I personally don’t give a shit about tablets so I’m not too happy.
Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3

It’s hard to argue that Windows 10 isn’t way better than Windows 7 in terms of user interface, workflow patterns, security, and feature support. Despite the fact that Windows 10 comes with a lot of useless junk. Hell, even the junk it came with (Microsoft Edge, Cortana, OneDrive) is more useful than the junk Windows 7 also came with.
And similarly, while people have a lot of nostalgia for Windows XP, from an absolute standpoint, Windows XP is complete ass as an operating system. It was only good in comparison to Windows 2000, ME, and 98/95.

I run a CNC machine at work that runs from a Windows XP PC. Can confirm the OS is still dogshit.
Win 10 was fine.
I really like Linux Mint though.

Linux Mint is great for my 80-year-old grandfather. No Microsoft account BS, and the interface is simple enough for him to learn. He only uses the computer to look at his investments online using Microsoft Edge and play Minesweeper (GNOME Mines seems to be an acceptable replacement for him), and look at old family photos. It runs great on his 6-year-old computer.
