Aside from it not being a UNIX, my main complaint about Windows 10 - and the thing I miss most from 90s computing - is the UI inconsistency, even across Microsoft’s own applications, let alone the sprawling disconnected ecosystem of 3rd-party applications.
Of course I recognise that Win10 is trying to operate in a far more complex environment than Win95 ever did, but that doesn’t stop me reading every set of Win10 release notes with disinterest and disappointment, finding out that they are focusing on minor feature churn and not doing anything about the core UI issues.
I often struggle to explain to my non-technical family how to do things using Windows 10 because it’s all so arbitrary.
Win95 was buggy and crap in other ways, but at least it had a manual that explained how to use it!
