I love this meme. It's one of my favorites. But Win10 was actually a turd and Win11 was a polished turd with a stinky one of an ad-on: more ads and more fingerprinting. I xpect Win12 to be more turd and Win13 to be diarrhea.

I was going to post the same. Calling Win10 a hit is a gross exaggeration. It was pretty much universally hated at release.

  And largely still is. There was mass resistance to leaving windows 7 which was the last release they basically worked like people had learned to use it. Getting stuff like user mode drivers and bitlocker and all the is nice but almost nothing had been added to the core product that users themselves much cared about. 3d object collections pinned to opening labels and the only way to get rid of it is registry hacks. Who was that "feature" ever even for?

    I think you guys must be in an echo chamber of Windows 10 hate. By and large almost everyone I know who is remotely techy, and even some who aren't actually like Win 10

      My work laptop has been on 10 LTSC for years. I don't "hate it" but I've never heard anyone talk about liking it so much as tolerating it to run the stuff they care about. Maybe it's super great on those surface tablets but all the techy people I know using tablets on are iPads.

  It was less hated than 8 at release, so by comparison it was loved

Does 10 really have less ads and telemetry, though? 10 is still getting updates and a lot of annoying "features" seem to get back ported (like the "fact of the day" thing in the search bar that always opens Bing), and I've never seen any proof that 11 actually does collect even more data than 10. Not defending 11 here, it's just that 10 was pretty ill received here an hn and ever since 11 came out, the opinions suddenly changed, which seems a bit weird to me.
