They sort if did this with Windoes Vista, but instead of fixing issues, they just removed a ton of vulnerable code, which resulted in a bunch of dropped features lol.

Unpopular opinion here, but Windows Vista was perfectly fine after SP1 was released. I migrated from XP-64 Bit to Vista and all around, it worked just as well (after SP1).
The after SP1 thing is the important bit. Unfortunately, even though a lot of issues were fixed then, it already had it’s reputation as dogshit.
The other thing is, the NT6 kernel was really strong. MS needs to decouple their UI from the kernel. The Window 11 kernel is actually pretty good. It’s the diabolically awful Windows 11 Interface that is the source of so much Windows evil.

You know that Vista was an irredeemable piece of shit. Don’t know why you’re bothering to defend it.

Because it wasn’t. After SP1, and moreso after SP2 it was perfectly fine.

But how else will you type an installed app name into the start menu and have it open Microsoft edge with shitty search results?
