My jumps were fewer. Apple II to IBM DOS3 to Win95 to Win 98 then Windows 7.
The Vista system was a Laptop someone was tossing that I repaired and sort of
liked because most things ran on it and it's much more friendly with OLD
software than Windows 7 is.

Up until about 2015 I was still running a system, updated as much as humanly
possible, running Windows 98. That was always my favourite OS where it did a
lot more than older versions but the user still had more direct control over
it. I did a lot of manually editing the Registry and tricking it into doing
things it was never designed to do. But I got into computers when Windows 3
was still a distant dream and I had to write my own Operating Systems and a
lot of my own programs and games so I guess I liked having the option of
hopping into DOS in the background to do some things..

I finally had to break down and get a Windows 7 Laptop to do some things
that a lack of updates finally made impossible.
I don't mind Windows 7 all that much but it always seems every new release
is more protective of itself allowing the user less and less control.
I've used Windows 10 a little at other people's places but I'd have to start
over again to figure out how to work around the way Windows intended..   B)
