      XP fucking sucked. It wasn’t good until service pack 3.

      You skipped 8.1 which was the good version that fixed the stuff that sucked about 8. It’s existence is almost completely forgotten.

      Then Windows 10 came out and it was bad.

      They then had about a 10 different OS builds that all had the Windows 10 name instead of giving each build a new name or calling them service packs. The OS that exists now (22h2) has almost nothing in common with the OS that came out in 2015.

      Windows 11 has also had several major leaps since that name started. What’s current (23h2) is much much different than the OS that came out in 2021.

      I can’t really think of a reason why 10 is listed as good, does it actually do something better than 7? Even just graphical interface?

        Windows 7 is good compared to Vista, but bad compared to Windows Xp SP 1 or SP 2 (in my memory at least). Windows 10 is good compared to Windows 8, but bad compared to Windows 7.

        After a couple more years of MS pushing win 11, we’ll probably get a win 12 that is less good than win 10, but better than win 11, so thanks to people’s short term memory, it will then be considered “good”, but anyone with a memory and some critical thinking ability will recognize it as shite.
