Vista was fine. Just ahead of it's time with the system requirements. To me, Vista was the best looking Windows ever made. And with the proper hardware it ran rock solid, just like Windows 7.
Win11 is the second best looking Windows imo. But I have had more broken OS problems after Windows 11 WU runs.
I disliked the messy UI of Windows 10 so I stayed with Windows 7 until 11 came out.
Windows 11 will probably get one or two big updates and then it is going to maintenance mode while new development will shift to Windows 12, or whatever the next Windows will be called.
