To me it was Windows 7. XP was great, 7 was amazing. (Reference, NT4 was my first Windows).

7 also had the most flexible/capable iteration of the Windows theme engine, which enabled the creation of a wide variety of high quality third party themes you could use if Aero wasn't quite your thing but you also didn't want to drop back to Win9x look.

8 gutted the Windows theme engine because most of it wasn't needed to render flat squares and it still has yet to recover.
