Vista was far worse. 7 was better than XP. 8 was a return to the garbage bin, 8.1 was an attempt to get out of the bin that didn’t work and 10 was so ‘good’ they had to force it on users.
There was a time that MS was actually encouraging people to download and run illegal copies of VISTA. It was so bad that they couldn’t give it away after word of mouth sank it.
Exactly correct for every version.

Abysmal.
I really like Win7, it's fairly stable, as Windows goes. But I've needed to get a Windows 10 laptop at work, as my company is migrating from Zimbra (linux based Email) to Office 365 (Exchange Online,) and Windows 7 simply can't be used for much of the administrative work. Even though you can load PowerShell 4 on Windows 7, the underlying architecture won't allow the plug-ins to work properly. And even some of the administrative web sites won't run on Win7 (for instance, the security and compliance admin site in Office 365.)
