Don't forget 'way back when' DOS was the controlling system. DOS 4.0 was issued, and had some bad commands.. mainly disk utilities problems. 4.1 was quickly issued! I have seen almost all, from DOS 3.0 forward.
Win 95 was not all that bad, but users had to go to the "start" button to shut down. Not a real problem until you restarted.. then a disk scan had to be done due to improper shutdown. But there were three versions of Win 95 through 1997. Each was better than the previous. Win 98 was revised to Win 98SE due to some problems.
Win ME was a cross-breed, trying to be two different entities at the same time. Near identical to Win 98 in graphics, and also trying to imitate Win 2000 and could use NTFS. Could never be started in 'safe' mode without wanting to "call home" (MS help desk)! Win Vista had problems, some users hated it.. others liked it.
Have not previewed the 'professional' version of Win 10, but the 'home' version is too geared toward tablet and laptop use.. not to the true desktop. Too many useless apps and features. It has lost its familiarity of older Windows versions. Not everyone wants their private data stored in "the cloud". Or be constantly updated on news and weather. Or have silly games!
Win 10 is beginning to make Win Vista look better!
