This implies that Linux is rising but still worse than the worst windows os 🫣🫠🫤😴🤧🤮🥴
I liked Vista (I was never a RAM peasant & I liked the glass theme) and hated XP.
I was also always sad how Me was brutally sodomised by shitty third party drivers (who just renamed 98 drives).
I considered W8 and 11 just as mediocre moneygrabs or maybe a marketing stunt.
Win 10 was definitely an improvement over 8. I'd even argue that 10 as it started out was the best since xp. Of course now 10 has been fully enshitified but it used to be good.

How can you so batantly skip over Win 7? I've heard some argue 10 was better (it wasn't) but that 7 >> XP was pretty undisputed.
All three are shit compared to Linux, of course (Arch btw).
I would agree that 10 was very good, but i could say similar things about windows 11 which in many ways performs better then 10.
And yet its shortly after upgrading to 11 that i switched to linux to never look back.
I think part of the logic in this meme is that it doesn’t matter how good the basic functions of the operating system are but what does is the design philosophy of the company. Loyalty in other systems decreased while Loyalty in windows gained.
Microsoft force feeding edge, onedrive, burrying the local account option till after the install with Microsoft account.
Randomly finding an update put a second weather widget on my taskbar that shows a different weather then the one in start. Taskbar icons that cant be closed, only hidden.
These things don't affect the OS functionality in a big deal but its like i was in an abusive relationship that i finally got out of. No matter how much sweet talking and promises to do better i am not going back.
Vista wasn't that bad. The dodgy selling it on computers that couldn't handle it was an issue (much like they still do with selling laptops with only 32gb storage).
I still think it was one of the nicest looking - black taskbar with the start button sticking up, sidebar widgets, aero glass etc
It was never stable for me. I remember I had a laptop that would always refuse to shut down because "shutdown.exe" was running
You're absolutely right about this. 7 is basically a Vista service pack that got rebranded.
All of the "good stuff" people credit 7 with came in Vista.
Windows Vista was better than 8 and 10, a lot of legacy devices in industry kept extended Vista support for years and years.
Yes, this is my experience also, it was stable and only a few (at the time) legacy bs didn't work out of the box.
Charting is ops passion!!
Having used both, Windows Vista was much worse than windows 8.
Windows has commited a sin()
Why? Just cos.
Linux on the other hand gained a lot of exp()
The colouring is shit, MacOS turns red at its peak. So, was it good or bad at that moment?
Linux is so bad it's worse than everything else even when others are enshittifying aggressively? Got it!
Hint: :q!
