It continues a decades-long tradition where every other Windows version is borderline unusable and universally hated. As long as I remember:

* Windows 3.0 was perceived as buggy

* Windows 3.1/3.11 was a major improvement

* Windows 95 was extremely unreliable

* Windows 98 sort of addressed most of the issues

* Windows 2000 was a weird amalgamation of the NT kernel and 98/ME look'n'feel that wasn't received well

* Windows XP fixed that

* Windows Vista was universally hated

* Windows 7 addressed most of its issues

* Windows 8 was a nonsense with phone-style UI on desktops, tablets and servers

* Windows 10 fixed it

Now it's time for another crappy release to get people really excited about upgrading to Windows 12 in a year or two.
