Windows Vista was good by SP1 but required 2GB of RAM. WinSxS disk usage was only fixed on Win7, though.

I actually miss all those transparent windows :)

Was it? I remember they added a tool that claimed it would clean it up but in practice it didn't seem to do much.

I thought Windows 10 just papered over the whole mess by doing an in place upgrade of the whole OS every 6-12 months.
