Nah there was definitely some kind of fundamental qualitative change from 7 to 8/10. I dont think the post-7 versions of windows will ever be loved like 7

I don't recall anyone describing Vista as "the last good Windows" back in 2013.

Windows 8.1 is heavily underrated. It's the final desktop Windows without rolling release model. (Except LTSC because its license is very limited.)

I still think Win2k was the last good Windows. XP was buggier and 7’s classic theme didn't look right.

Win2k WAS the last good Windows.
Dave Cutler was still in charge, and his attitude towards stamping out bugs is sorely lacking today.

No, Microsoft reserves odd numbers for good versions. That's why there was no 9. 11 will be brilliant! ;)
