    You forgot Vista between XP and 7, and it wasn’t great, so the pattern holds up remarkably well.

    8 felt like a mobile OS, because it was.

    10 is OK. Not as good as 7, broke support for a bunch of things, really amped up the spyware feeling, but it works OK.

    Then 11.

    Probably still can have a computer though, it’s just not fully yours on 11.

      That’s a good point. If you leave 11 on your computer, then you don’t own it anyway.

      Microsoft is just allowing you use of the hardware to run their data mining software on.

        Honestly, I just got tired of fighting with it and took my OS into my own hands. Grew tired of the services being pushed in my settings getting reset to whatever Microsoft pleases.
