Win 7 was peak. Bonus points for giving option to make it look like Win9x by disabling all eye candy options.

i think first release on win10 was the best, it got worse with updates

Absolutely not. First win10 release already tried to force me into using a microsoft account, had adware and trial crap preinstalled, the terrible settings windows situation, borderline unusable start menu search function, hard to disable cortana bullshit, etc. etc.

Microsoft account crap wasn't as bad as it is in the most recent releases.
also win10 is the first version to introduce some significant changes that make windows so much less annoying to use and more unixy
i hate legacy windows stuff so fucking much but it's kinda a miracle how they made it work out with windows 10
