Plus individual screen dpi scaling from whenever that was. And the usb handling from win10. Oh and the audio device switcher is so much better in w10 than w7.

Actually people seem to focus a lot on UX but in terms of the core features (handling my hardware and managing processes) windows has improved a lot. I also fondly remember win2k but I think it would be absolutely awful to use now.

The new win 10 audio swapping is a horrible abomination. The capstone being the removal of audio settings from the system tray. I feel like I could rant for an hour on the topic. The per app sound controller is good when it works, but frequently likes to jump to other devices with something resembling free will.
