Alice has laptop running Win 10 and hates it, I have a desktop running Win 8.1 and love it every thing except the odd issue runs fast and efficiently .
My original work laptop (of >7 years) has Vista which has not been overly problematic.
A "few" years ago, when looking for a replacement I managed to find a dealer selling laptops with genuine Windows 7 OS, this has not missed a beat to date.
A couple of years ago we bought the "better half" a laptop which came with Windows 10..........what an intrusive, overly controlling load of crap this OS is.
With all that said, my pick is the PC in our "recording" studio which has run faultlessly on Windows XP for more years than I can remember, absolutely rock solid.
Well I'm still using a cutdown vs. of xp sp3 on my laptop.
Yeah I can't use the latest progs in 64bit and it's pretty slow with DSS but stable as a rock.
Ok it might have some holes in it if I go on the net but with 80% turned off its running on about 12 processes i just don't connect this old Asus FJ3p to the net.
I can still run 16 adat channels of audio at 32bit with not one error but I can't get on the net without turning a heap of processes.
Maybe I'm living in the early 2000s but if it ain't broke don't fix it.

I'm not usually one to get onto the negative bandwagon, but I'll say this. It was policy to not sell a PC (hand built "biegeboxes") with WinMe on it at the old PC shop I worked at. It was fine - as long as you liked a blue and white colour scheme
I have a mint condition Acer digital video and still imager which I can no longer use because my last surviving W98 comp has died, and there are no
drivers available to allow me to use it on later versions of windows, such a shame to throw away a fully serviceable item.

I am not a Windows fan (use a Mac and Ubuntu), but Win10 is not the worst. Even considering the unavoidable updates which appear when you are in the middle of something. I have made a script which sabotages the updates and when I really need an update, I just disable that script (scheduled task) temporarily. If a use Windows at all. And then I run it in a Virtual Box image on my Mac.

Have you seen elementaryOS? It's built on Ubuntu but the GUI looks Mac. I've got an early beta installed, which is a bit too rough, but it's been developed since then.
I just bought a new Acer with Windows 10S.
Thankfully converting to full W10 was easy, quick n free.
Nah. At least Vista was NT based. Vista's main curse was the well documented lack of consulation with industry players by MS, and certain shortcuts taken by developers used to dealing with the Win9x base, now having to play in an NT based "consumer" OS.
My vote goes to WinMe. It was just drunk behind the wheel.
