Did 7 have some hidden clause or something that's not apparent to a user without forensic tools? I remember that revision being pretty swell. (Especially the enterprise branches)

    The Home editions included hardware restrictions (a maximum of either 8 or 16 GB RAM depending on which of the two versions you got, and you couldn't change language in any of the commercially available versions. While I can't remember anything wrong with it, I was also like 10 when I used it and I highly suspect everyone's memories of it are being biased by just how absolute dogshit 8 was on release.

    Except that implies Windows 12 or whatever is going to be good, which I currently struggle to imagine is possible without major structural changes to Microsoft's entire corporate structure.

    Except compare windows 8 to windows 10 totally different and they changed their entire direction. It's possible.

    I feel like they go "we need something new and fast. Forget quality or what people want just make it new and different." and then a few years later "that was a mistake, make it work well and listen to the customers"... And repeat

    Granted I'm running Debian but...
