Everything since 7 has been a skip.

You younguns haven't met a decent OS! XP was the last decent Windows... Nah, 2000 was... Ah fuck it!

Every OS wastes your time

From the desktop to the lap

Everything since the abacus

Just a bunch of crap

Personally I'm halfway offended that my job forces win 11 on us, at least 10 didn't remove the old settings dialogs.
