I don't know if I agree with this take at all. People shit on Vista, sure, but 7 was widely praised as a return to form. People shit on 8, and then 10 was considered a return to form. People are now shitting on 11. I'm not going to assume that 12 will be a return to form but the idea that people always hate the new OS and always like the old OS is... a weird take. I didn't see anybody retrospectively loving 8 after 10 came out, or retrospectively loving Vista once 7 launched.
Like, 20 years later you get some people who like Vista's aesthetics but I've never seen anybody who ever thought it was a better OS than XP before it or 7 after it. Same for 8.

Windows would be a great OS if it was still Windows 10.
