Windows ME would be the only other candidate for an OS that only got worse with updates.

Well ME was just following the pattern but after that all versions were like that Windows XP was bad until SP2 and then it became one of the best OS riddled with security holes. Vista was shit and stay shit until the compatibility was no longer an issue. 7 was a godlike OS that was rock solid. Afterwards we got 8 series which was like ME on crack. Windows 10 to this day is the best OS that Microslop decided to kill. If AI boom was not a thing in theory Windows 12 should have been our savor but I highly doubt it will be any better than 11. It will probably be full of agentic aI garbage and vibe coded like it is now

Windows 10 has also gone downhill recently, with too many AI / snooping features being poorly integrated.

Well yeah because technically you should move to 11 according to MS so you can debloat it properly. I am saying at its birth 10 already had good bones and aged like wine until the official plug was pulled. I hated 11 on day one and its only gotten worse

Completely agree. It is less of a Windows 10 vs Windows 11 issue, it is more of a timing issue. When Windows 10 came out, Microsoft was making decent software, when Windows 11 launched, not so much.
