I think Windows peaked with 7. The last time that you felt like the upgrade was worth it or at least not a step backwards.

    People said the same about XP when Windows 7 came out.

    And they will say the same about Windows 10 when Windows 12 comes out.

    It all depends on the Windows version you are most familiar with.

    Agree although I loved XP. 10 wasn't terrible in the end, and 11 is a shit show

    10 was ugly IMO and it turned the anti-consumer bullshit up to 11

    I will say that 7 lacks the cool retro flavor that XP had, but maybe that's just because lots of Linux UI looks about as old as 7 (Cinnamon being the biggest "offender").

    This is exactly right. I suffered through vista, loved the hell out of 7, and right as 8 came out, someone offered me an iMac for cheap. Started learning OS X and when 8 came out and I saw what was going on, I never went back.
