Microsoft's Windows has been the most commonly used operating system in the world since the early 90s. In that time, we've seen the platform enjoy its fair share of successes and failures, from the glorious heights of Windows 7 and XP, to the terrifying lows of Window ME and Vista, or the ambitious (yet disastrous) Windows 8.
If there's a trend to be found within Microsoft's releases of the Windows operating system, it's that oftentimes good follows bad, and bad follows good. The short-lived and lackluster Windows ME was quickly replaced by the beloved Windows XP, and the meme-worthy Windows Vista was the timeline trough to the peak that was Windows 7.
