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

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

> Windows 7 still had some fundamental kernel quality issues.

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)

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

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