Oh, and Windows actively trying its absolute hardest to make everyone hate it for about a decade.

You're off by about thirty years.

    Nah, Windows XP and 7 get a pass. These were solid consumer OS's.

    You go back 30 years and you're at Windows 95 (holy shit) and the beginning of massive home PC adoption.

    I don't feel they got hostile towards users until probably midway through Windows 10 lifecycle. The first half wasn't that bad, aside from changing up 20+ years of muscle-memory....but Gnome did that, too.
