The first versions of windows were pretty stable. But past 98, just about every other one was a real piece of shit. I have windows starter, and it has even with it's problems, been the most stable OS I have had.
One thing about OS which pisses me off, is a monopoly which is supposed to be banned, much like a car company isn't allowed to sell you a car and demand you get it fixed at the dealership. But when you buy a new computer, a lot of the time unless you are an uber computer egghead, you cant go back a version if you don't like the new one.
To be clear not all monopolies are banned - For example, public services like healthcare and education are mostly public and it gets worse with things like electricity and water - They're essential goods. As for the OS, it's not a monopoly because apple computers bring the Mac OS system - But there's many reasons it works like that, one of them is that most people are only capable of using windows... Rest assured, you are not forced to keep it and you can remove it anytime.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
