Win95 was trash for a while. ME was always trash. OSX wasn’t great on release. Every Linux distro has had its time in the darkness.

I think 11 is going through some significant structural changes at a faster pace than before, while at the same time the natural greed of capitalism forced MS to get rid of things like large QA teams and support.

If MS were really interested they would begin open sourcing a lot of the things that don’t make them any money (calculator, clock, notepad, UI) and focus on the major items.
