Based on Microsoft's track record Windows 12 will probably fix what they screwed up with Windows 11.

It's arguable how much of "Fixes" those fixes were. Then there were Service Packs in between with arguable fixes.

This is largely how I view it. I think my favorite was Windows 2000 - I ran it for 8 years, and it was just as solid as a rock.

I installed XP in 2004 then moved to Windows 8 in 2012 when I built my current PC. Windows 8 was only usable on installing Classic Shell.

For me Windows 95 was my first real Windows operating system. I bought a PC in January 1995 with WFWG 3.11. I disliked it so much I replaced it with Windows 95 beta in April 1995.

BTW, I didn't include Windows 2000 in the list because it was primarily meant for business use. It was a replacement for Windows NT 4.0 and incorporated the user interface of Windows 98.
