Thanks for the “every reply has to be an argument” reddit treatment. If you ignore the post-release updates to the system, and paint broad strokes because this is just nerd humour and stop taking everything so seriously, you’ve got:

  • Win95: good
  • Win98: bad
  • WinXP (skipping ME because it was a weird mid-cycle release testbed): good
  • Win Vista: bad
  • Win7: good
  • Win8: bad
  • Win10: good
  • Win11: bad

Microsoft has almost always had good longterm support for their OSes to iron things out, so if you include every major update of course there’s no pattern.

Basically, imagine the paper is the fabric of the universe. Now imagine it’s a box, instead of a flat paper. You fold it the exact same way, but because you need to fold the two-dimensional paper in one dimension higher (3D) than the physical medium of paper, you would need to fold the three-dimensional cube in one dimension higher (4D) than the physical medium of space.

Does that make sense?
