@sun It is 100% preferable to the absolute state of modern Windows, that much is undeniable. Though I still think the macOS releases of it's time did the desktop compositing and convenient feature sets in a more sensible way.

@adrint I think that windows xp is perfect in a lot of ways too, and has the added advantage that it will run in 128 megabytes of RAM. But, later versions of Windows added some things that are very desirable like a better security architecture, updated directx, updated powershell. all things that are transparent to the end user except directx which lets you play nearly any game.

even newer games that refuse to run below windows 10, this is often an artificial restriction which can be binary-patched out and the game runs 100% the same.
