Logically, the next version should be "good" (even though it takes some work to unbloat 10).
I will say that as a Windows Administrator, the overall quality of the OS has fallen, and more attention is put into 'features' compared to performance, reliability, etc. I shouldn't have to wait for right click menus. 4gb ram should be a viable web browser and basic Office machine, even in 2025. The bigger and faster machines get, the lazier software companies get.
Generally, Windows is reliable for my Org. The OS is decent; yes it is annoying to have to remove the adware from an office machine. I struggle to understand why 16gb with a good SSD is the bare minimum to make the OS feel like it has a sense of purpose. I have 10-year-old hardware running Linux and mechanical drives that performs really well and only slows down when you're asking it to do heavy lifting.
