It's always every other release. Then the next one is a massive 180, because all the power users (including server admins, software developers, etc people who actually might affect MS market share) absolutely loathed that release.

We have seen this happen with Vista and Windows 8, and it will happen again with whatever comes after Windows 11. Microsoft does eventually listen to the users, but unfortunately only after it's too late for release N. I still can't explain how things are able to get that bad, before the correction happens

I have loved Vista. The difference with all the people that hated it is that I waited about 1.5 years after release before installing it. It ran flawlessly on my PC and to this day I have no bad word to say about it.

I'm pretty sure Windows 11 will be mostly OK next year. What's the rush? It's not like Windows 10 is broken.

If it wasn't for telemetry I'd still be on Windows now.
