When did Microsoft stop developing Windows to be good?

Nowadays Windows is filled with adware and is fairly slow, but it wasn't always like this. Was there a particular time where a change occurred?

Windows Me, Windows Vista, Windows 8, and Windows 11. These are all bad iterations of Windows.

I used ME a lot and never had trouble. I think I had just the right hardware cuz I know that many people had a hard time.

I think you and I were the only ones.

I was using some Compaq computer that had previously belonged to my employer (i.e. I took home an old one that would go to surplus) and was probably so stupidly generic in its hardware that it could run anything.
