Just because you disagree , doesn’t mean that your opinion holds any weight over theirs.
Especially because you’ve provided no rebuttal of substance, and resorted to name calling.

There is nothing superior or even functionally 'new' in Windows 11 besides compute burning eye candy and embedded backdoored encryption
If Windows 7 had multi core enhancement, driver downloading, and updated libraries it would still be a superior OS from a weight of resources perspective.

yeah you don't need to read very much of this to know this author hasn't exactly written a substantive article; they certainly aren't bothering to backup their claims with any reasoning. the whole post itself is 'this version of windows was ugly, this one wasn't etc'.
It's even become a slang expression: a app can have a "Vista moment", meaning they released a version that was completely unusable and a stark regression from previous versions.
Meanwhile XP is widely regarded to have been the best windows version ever. The only version that even compares in terms of popularity is 7.
I get the feeling the author of the post hasn't actually used any of the older versions of windows, and was ranking solely based on some screenshots they found online. There's no other reasonable explanation for rating vista higher than XP.
However, Microsoft made a huge change to how the OS and drivers worked. If you still use Windows, you are still benefitting from some of the changes.
However HW vendors usually ship rather broken drivers, it was doubly bad since Vista overhauled the driver interface. By the time all vendors fixed their shitty and badly tested drivers we already had 7. It is also partly Microsoft's fault since they had absolute chaos in Vista development due to shitty hacks on top of hacks that was the consumer OS (XP).
Similarly Vista was very heavy for its contemporary average hardware. By the time HW caught up, 7 was released.
