People were excited to use Windows 95 and XP. I think that Windows 2000 was the best, most coherent version of Windows. Windows 8, ME, and 11 put Windows into a dive, and Windows 7 and 10 pulled it out, a bit. The problems remain: Windows is still too bloated, slow, and invasive of privacy. Windows went from your machine and data--to not your machine, and now: not your documents.
