Just yesterday I installed both Windows 10 and Windows 7 (and Windows XP). Windows7 is so much more consistent, faster. (It's still from Microsoft, so it also sucks.)
I think the two versions of Windows I remember most fondly are Windows 2000 *not ME) and Windows 7. I used a replacement shell for explorer on Win2k for several years until I finally switched to XP+SP3...
I think Win2K was the last consistent UI version of Windows... everything felt like it belonged together in terms of look and feel. With Win7, I liked the enhancements to the new taskbar, but other than that didn't care for much. Since then it's been an increasingly half baked mess.
