> You won't find that level of stability in Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 7.

Nice try but you won't deceive any attentive readers. Everything you've told in that paragraph was applicable to Windows 7, it had all the stability and none of the user hostility of later versions.

I think you strung together a bunch of words that don't jive with real world experiences.

Windows 7 still had some fundamental kernel quality issues. WDDM 1.1 wasn't mature to the point of providing a stable experience across the board and vendors were still adapting to the WDDM model; kernel mode printer drivers were still common, both a stability and security knock for those older versions of Windows.

So no, Windows 7 did not have "all of the stability" of Windows 10 or 11.

I know the real world experience I've had, thank you very much.

No it didn't, it was solid as a rock.

> WDDM 1.1 wasn't mature to the point of providing a stable experience across the board and vendors were still adapting to the WDDM model;

Display drivers adapted by the time Vista SP2 was released, and 7 was a solid release from start without even needing a SP.

> kernel mode printer drivers were still common, both a stability and security knock for those older versions of Windows.

First time I've heard a printer driver crashing the system, are you sure you're not making it up? ( print queue hanging is annoying but it isn't a BSOD)

Okay I give up, Windows 11 is the bestest release, Satya is the broest tech CEO and you're the number 1 fan boy
