In terms of pure UI, I agree. There were a few peaks in Windows UI/UX: 3.0, 98, XP, and Windows 10. Since then, the trend has been toward more and more bloat. But, if the long-term trend continues, maybe Windows 15 will clean things up again. :)

Windows 10 is not a peak in any sense. It's a continuation of the downward trend that Windows 8 started.

It's the version of Windows that normalized ads in the OS, unreasonable amounts of telemetry and horrible flat UI.

Ugh. Maybe I was thinking of Vista? It’s been a while, after all....

Just casually skipping over the highest peak (Windows 7) I see...

The last one that could be made to look like NT4 / W2K; yeah, definitely the best all in all. (Though it was of course somewhat bloated from all the .NET stuff.)
