You mean that calc.exe opening in 3 seconds is better than instantly. Or dissapearing ribbon and title bar on windows in a multimonitor setup is better than before. Or the new designed shutdown menu.Or the white fonts on light background. Or dissapearing scrollbars because someone thought that this is a good idea. Or the new save dialog when you need 3 clicks just to be able to select the folder where you want to save.
Windows went downhill fast since introduction of telemetry.
Windows 10 is better than any previous version of Windows. So how did it go downhill?
User experience. Windows 10 was an upgrade over 8, which was a huge downgrade over 7. Not only did telemetry not help Microsoft improve the UX of their OS after Windows 7, in Windows 10 it's been getting worse with each update, and Windows 11 is slated to be a disaster.
Windows 10 was an upgrade over 7. Windows 10 UX improved over 7.

This sounds more like 'MS bad, must hate MS at all costs' then actual legitimate complaints.

Windows has been getting worse for the last 3 or so generations of Windows.
Windows 10 is better than any previous version. I mean my Windows laptop is far more stable than any distro I run on my desktop and work laptop.
How? I mean, in what way, and in response to which metrics?
