“Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10.” --Microsoft

  I believed that. My conversion Windows 7 to 10 failed. I went to Ubuntu without any problems. I had a lucky escape.

    Just yesterday I installed both Windows 10 and Windows 7 (and Windows XP). Windows7 is so much more consistent, faster. (It's still from Microsoft, so it also sucks.)

      I think the two versions of Windows I remember most fondly are Windows 2000 *not ME) and Windows 7. I used a replacement shell for explorer on Win2k for several years until I finally switched to XP+SP3... I think Win2K was the last consistent UI version of Windows... everything felt like it belonged together in terms of look and feel. With Win7, I liked the enhancements to the new taskbar, but other than that didn't care for much. Since then it's been an increasingly half baked mess.

  We just ship everyone the latest beta and let the users do the testing. That's why we made sure you can't disable telemetry unless you pay up for an enterprise-level eula. Good luck submitting error and telemetry reports whenever an update bricks your motherboard. FTFY

  I also believed them. Never again. Also Windows 11 is okay.

    ... but it seems to be worse than windows 10 in terms of performance while adding nothing substantially different

      Oh but it is quite different. Even notepad is completely fucked up. mmc and cmd still virtually unchanged since 1999

That's just the best case scenario. Few migrated to it in 2015. Windows 10 was sold for years. Windows 11 initial release date: October 5, 2021. That's 4 years of support after successor was released.

  Dunno.. Windows 8.0 and 8.1 were ass... Windows 10 was slightly less ass.
