No, this is the usual reaction to Microsoft’s habit of following a good Windows release with a terrible one.

Vista made people stick with XP Win8 made people stick with 7 Win11 makes people stick with 10

There were no die-hard fans sticking with the shit releases, just as nobody will cling on to Windows 11.

The backwards compatibility starts getting unbearable after a while. XP runs like a dream on modern hardware but the fact that everything after ~2014 or so only supports 7+, there's a limit on how mucn you can do with it.
