      It was the last Windows version that felt it was primarily made for desktop use.

      Windows 8 tried to be a hybrid between mobile operating system, and Windows 10 and onward feels more like an advertising platform for Office 365 and Microsoft’s AI services.

        Was 10 actually alright early on in its life, or was I just unaware? I don’t remember any of the advertising and spyware crap back when I first upgraded from 7.

          Yes. It installed candycrap automatically and had several other such apps in the start menu.

      I would disagree. I feel xp was the last good windows. After that it all went to shit.
