Windows hit its lowest market share in decades, Microsoft lost $400 billion in a week, and now their own president is admitting they need to fix the OS. SteamOS and Linux aren’t waiting around.

Hell, they weren’t doing too well before that, either. The whole creepy “we know better” vibe was pretty noticeable before the advent of LLMs too - although of course it’s made it a ton worse. But they were always inept and douchy to boot.
As the joke goes, “Do you think Microsoft understands consent? Yes / Maybe yes later”
(Personally I think 11 is way worse than Vista - in isolation, relative to the previous one, morally, somehow UX wise, pretty much any metric you want.)
I have to agree. Vista was a dud, but there were a number of legitimate improvements made over Windows XP. Windows 11 is just a worse Windows 10. Other than maybe tabs in the Explorer, I can’t think of anything they’ve improved and a whole lot they made worse.
Vista and 8.1 were my favorite Windows versions since XP.
Vista could easily be made into a normal gray Windows experience
