im using 11 rn and it sucks ASS because it could just kill itself or kill the desktop without having an option to turn off

Every other Windows release is absolute garbage, for some reason they just shit the bed and forget everything that made previous Windows good before remembering how to make a usable OS in next release

Windows 11 and 8 are the objective worst. Win11 forces AIslop in every piece of the OS to consume as much system resources as possible and send all your data to the feds and Win8 was designed for tablet computers that never took off, it was so shit they had to create 8.1 to try and salvage that disaster until 10 was ready.

Win12 will probably be the next good OS if we follow the pattern. I will keep my main PC on 10 until that point. If Win12 is just more AIslop like 11, then I'll just switch to Linux and run a Windows VM for whatever Windows stuff doesn't work there.

10 is when forced updates started right?

im about to have an unpopular opinion so make sure you already shitted today sars. even though the execution was a total flop i think the idea of windows 8 was the last push for real forward progress and innovation for windows. malls werent on life support yet so when you walked by a windows store everything would be these colorful panels. the wii u and 3ds launched around this time, an entire decade of touch (ds) and point (wii) controls had just reshaped the gaming market. my first laptop had the 8 panels and even as a 14 year old i would instantly click to the traditional desktop but i didnt feel like their attempt at something new was insulting. it just didnt work out.

whatever the newest one is, continually

Vista because its laggy and frustrating UAC

Windows 8/8.1 because of annoying metro interface
