Microsoft likes to alternate between good and bad releases of Windows. XP was good, Vista was bad. 7 was good, 8 was bad. 10 was good, and 11 is kind of bad. Not as bad as Vista or 8, but still noticeably worse than 10. Here’s hoping that 12 will be an OS with upgrading to.

This works when you pick and choose. You ignored Win2K which is the best Windows version ever and Windows 8.1 which was good too.

Windows Me came out after Windows 2000 so it still works!

(but then the timeline breaks at Windows 98SE again... the DOS/9x->NT transition will always be a rift since there were OSes that coexisted)

I paid money Windows 10 when Microsoft said "this is the last version of Windows - only updates from here on". When they announced work on Windows 11, I switched platforms. It didn't help that the Windows 10 updates were incredibly obnoxious, restarting my computer regardless of overnight compute tasks I had running.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's not fine. File explorer context menu, taskbar, it was a half baked OS when first released. It improved, but they shouldn't have release it as it was. Taskbar is still a mess, sometimes I have to reboot to get it working again. And still I can't move on the side.

I haven't had any problem with any of those things - maybe I lucked out with hardware support. However, some longstanding problems I had on Windows with controller and displays and accessories have finally just disappeared. So YMMV.

You still can't move taskbar on the side, something you could do for decades.

This whole flip-flop is as vacant as Moore’s law. It gets flexed to fit the narrative of the day.
