Kind of, to varying degrees. Posting the ones I've actually used enough to have an opinion:
- Win 3 through 3.11 and below: Limited
- Win 9x: unstable
- Win ME: don't get me started
- Win 2k: Decent, actually. At least after a couple of service packs
- Win XP: Win 2k with teletubbies theme
- Win Vista: "users are too stupid to be allowed to do this just like that"
- Win 7: Decent, actually
- Win 8: worst UI ever
- Win 8.1: sometimes MS actually listens to feedback
EDIT: While I absolutely hated using Vista, I think it's unfair to complain about its performance compared to that of Win XP. XP was 6-7 years old at the time of Vista release - of course it's going to demand less of your PC.
Win 10: 'the final version of Windows' actually kinda decent
Win 11: "when we said f'inal version of Windows' we meant it's the final version that your old ass computer would run. Go buy a new one."
Win10 was extreme crap, you just feel it was good because Win11 is worse.
I think it’s unfair to complain about its performance
I disagree. If your software runs like a damn snail on inexpensive current-gen hardware, then it's not worth using.
This lines up with my own takes on Windows versions. I think 8 was better than people give it credit for. I never minded the UI personally, and it was fast and responsive.
