Windows: 3.0: B-
Win95: B+
Win 98: B
Win 2000: C-
Win XP: A
Win Vista: B-
Win 7: A+
Win 8: F
Win 9: MIA
Win 10: ?

If MS could just solve the problem I always have, that a PC will begin to slow down and get really crappy performance after a few years, needing some kind of extraordinary maintenance, like backing up, reformatting, and reinstalling everything, I would be happy.

Good list. I hate win 8. It's just re-arranging the deck furniture, but harder to find. I think MS has their own version of Intel's tick-tock theory that is driving their company, except MS can take something good and totally ruin it.
