    8 wasn’t nearly as bad as people think, and there were big improvements to the kernel that make it a definite improvement over 7.

    The problem for most people was the Start screen, which if you could get past, left you with what was a really good OS.

    Less ads and telemetry than 10, too.

      It also had a lot of weird issues that people asked me or mostly techy people around me to fix. People with Windows 7 or 10 had significantly less issues and because of the familiarity (which obviously isn’t necessarily a good thing) more people could fix the problem due to having had it themselves.
