    8 was at least an attempt to try to make things better for home users and get away from win32 cruff.

    Like or hate the exact approach they took, you have to admire the spirit.

    10 and 11 has been Microsoft saying “fuck em. They won’t ever be happy steal everything you can while they’re still here.”

      I don’t think Windows will ever fully escape Win32 cruft. One of the major features of Windows is backwards compatibility.
