I think Windows has been shit since it was an app that sat on top of dos. It's gotten a lot better now in countless ways, but overall, it's gotten worse than better. There was a time where I couldn't/wouldn't consider an alternative as a daily driver from 95 through to the end of 7 support really.

The enshitification of windows got worse with 10 (11 is another order of magnitude) and the oncoming eos, drove me off again about 18 months ago and I've been happier for it.
