After noticing the trend early on, I skip every other upgrade. For example, 3.1 was okay. 95 was glitchy. 98 was better. 2000 & ME, why tho? XP was tight. Vista was Vista. 7 still works fairly well. 8 was wtf. 10 is alright. From that, I don't expect much from 11 and will hold off until the next release.
This is a great summary of the Windows updates over the years.
I hate to have to upgrade and do so only when forced due to my old version becoming incompatible with some site or software that I have to use or that I like to use. I have found that it's not bad to buy a laptop after the release of a new version of Windows when you can still get the old one and it will be cheaper...kind of like buying last year's car model. I am pretty happy with 10 and hope that I am not forced to upgrade in order to use the programs I have to use for work. At the very least, I want at least six months to pass with a new version so they have found and fixed a bunch of the inevitable bugs.
I'm your huckleberry.
