Real meme is in the comments
Win 10 was definitely an improvement over 8. I’d even argue that 10 as it started out was the best since xp. Of course now 10 has been fully enshitified but it used to be good.
I actually loved 8, but only after they allowed the desktop experience to emulate what people were more used to. It was super innovative, though, for the time.
There isn’t an universe where 8 was better than 10.
8 had a real small install footprint if I recall. It worked on a lot of really shitty hardware that 10 didn’t. 8 is definitely not as popular as 10

Wait, did you write an actual function for that graph?
Yes
The Windows function is
cos(pix) + 1The Linux function is
0.05x^2 - 1/2 cos(pix)
Dude, I am all for people trying and stuff.
I can tell that you are just starting out in the graph game, and that is cool and all. But compare to OP yours looks terrible. I’m not trying to be mean, I’m just trying to save you from the embarrassment.
Take another look at OPs graph and pay attendtion to the different thickness in the lines and the unpredictable curves.
I don’t think people got the sarcasm :(
Saying Windows 10 is worse than Windows 8 is just nonsense. Saying macOS is worse now than 5 years ago is… just dumb? And the colour scheme doesn’t make any sense, why is the red at macOS literally higher than the green?
the timeline in the pic is a bit off, but macos is definitely getting worse. I think mavericks was the last version that let you turn off mouse acceleration.
On Sonoma and higher:
System Settings > Mouse > AdvancedOn every version:
defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling -1
OSX peaked in the 2000s and early 2010s. Apple started walling it off more and more a decade ago.
Their hardware has gotten better in the past 5 years with the m series chips and getting rid of that terrible keyboard though.
maybe because it represents the drop.
10 and 11 are waaaaaaaay better than 8. But meme is meme.
This is less how OSes evolved and more a line of your perception of Windows. Guess windows 7 was your last one.
The colouring is shit, MacOS turns red at its peak. So, was it good or bad at that moment?
I feel personally attacked
If your wondering i paid $1 for it at a swap meet, disks are still mint aswell :D
The features aged like milk
"Its the most secure windows version ever!! "
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think 11 is pretty great from a technical standpoint. The only real issue I have is modern standby…I miss having laptops that actually go to sleep and aren’t dead a day later. But that’s a fight I’ve given up on.
Now…the ads, MS accounts requirements, tracking and telemetry, the pre-installed bloat like News (a glorified clickbait aggregator), Movies and TV, Office, etc. make what is technically fine into a garbage experience.
Used to be able to create a list of file path shortcuts that are visible when you right click the file explorer icon pinned to the taskbar. The shortcuts I made in a previous version of windows are still present and functional. But it can’t add new ones. Best it can do is add another file explorer icon for each new shortcut.
You can still drag excel files to an Excel icon pinned to the taskbar, and it adds them to the single list of individual Excel files “pinned” to Excel.
It just doesn’t let you add shortcuts to the pinned file explorer icon anymore. I had a whole workflow based on being able to quickly and easily access a handful of commonly used folders and ms office files. Makes no sense to remove useful functions that already worked.
People forget XP was pretty bad at first just like Windows 98 and like Windows 98 people became less critical after a bunch of major fixes. For Windows 98 this became Windows 98SE and for XP this became XP SP2 (and eventually 3).
Both Vista and 7 had problems before they were fixed after awhile. The most common issue I can remember was UAC and everyone just told you to turn it off to install and use their software and games. There were also a bunch of breaking Win API stuff and a lot of software made for XP just didn’t work anymore in Vista+.
People mainly just remember them after they were fixed, except for Vista because 7 came out fairly quickly (just 2 years later). Microsoft does not have a good track record for initial Windows releases but eventually everyone forgets and even some of the bad ones are remembered as the good ones.
I would rather describe Windows as a dampened oscillation with an undefined steady state.
Great meme post! This comment section is a scorching hot dumpster fire that beamed carcinogens directly into my retinas. Thanks I hate it.
Appreciate the warning, I will therefore skip this post o7
Easy to have a constant upward trend when you start off in your parents basement…
