As someone stuck with Windows Vista (no sarcasm intended, although I shall be upgrading later this year when patches stop coming) I beg to differ. There is a continued degree of improvement since the Windows 9x days and in the meantime Windows have displaced Mac OS and Linux in certain market segments because of its code quality not despite of it. It is impressive that they have maintained great legacy support alongside it. The current tirade against Windows 10 is not really that different to the period after Windows XP came out just because it is radically different to its predecessor, yet the latter eventually became the most long lived MS product ever. A similar torrent of FUD did kill Vista's reputation, but as we all know Windows 7 is just minor upgrade but this rebranding is enough to pacify the most vocal critics. Make me wonder if Jobs was right that users really have no idea whats the best for them.
