        Windows 10 was only perceived as good because Microsoft forced everyone to use it by ending support for Windows 7. If they stopped supporting Windows 7 in 2014 people would think that windows 8.1 was a good OS

          It’s considered good because it’s usable and you can still ignore all those junk it introduce and use it like a basic OS. Also mostly because 11 is full of junk so 10 somehow still considered good.

          Kinda same logic with 8.1, it is “good” because it’s better than 8, and 10 is better than 8.1 so we’re seeing some ascent between 8 and 10, but overall it’s still downhill.

            More like, 10 worked, was fast, was a nornal OS. 8 sucks ass, 11 is adware, 7 was fun, vista was bloatware, xp was woking.

            I used both 95 and 98 but as a kid and don’t remember much.

          For me and good and bad are relative: windows 10 was waaaay better than 8, and for some aspects it is quite good, objectively it’s still crap for many other things

        Vista : bad

        7 : could be better

        8 : bad

        10 : bad and full of shit

        11 : a large pile of fucking shit

        There won’t be a 12. Microsoft doesn’t care about the OS market as much anymore. They make their money elsewhere now.

            Or there won’t be a windows at all anymore is what I’m getting at. This is likely to be the last version. There’s just not a big reason to invest is making a windows OS at this point and Microsoft has been making moves to prepare for when everyone else realizes this too. The Trump regime has dramatically accelerated the shift toward a windows-free workflow in other countries and we will still need to business with them so…yea

        They should have worked on longhorn more instead of giving us vista.

    Top five reasons to use Windows:

    1. I need it for work
    2. I need it for my games
    3. I need it for my hardware
    4. It’s what I’ve always used
    5. I can turn all that crap off and run Windows like an operating system that I own and control at least until the next security update installs Copilot into my mouse cursor.

    This looks so much like my desktop in 2012. Even most of the apps and games are the same.
