  • Win Vista: Shit
  • Win 7: Good
  • Win 8: Shit
  • Win 10: Good-ish
  • Win 11: Shit

When they are sitting on a decent OS, Microsoft can't help themselves but get cocky and let the Corporate "good idea fairies" and comittees shove their inept fingers in the pie and enshitify the crap out of their next OS. They will only back off and let their people produce something actually good immediately after being reminded that they shouldn't take their customers for granted and that businesspeople shouldn't be allowed to dictate OS design.

10 was not great after 7, but compared to 11 it is good.

I fixed it with an edit

Windows 98 was incredibly unstable and crashed all the time. Windows 98 SE (second edition) was pretty great in comparison but still a little unstable.

Windows 2000 (not on your list) used the NT kernel and was incredibly stable. Windows NT is also not on your list.

Windows 8.1 was great

2000 was a security mess. Worked well though.

Compared to the security mess that was 9x windows though, it was an improvement

You forgot 8.1, which was good. It was pretty much 10, but with better menus.
