Win2000 I give a 7 (poor gaming support mainly)
WinME I give a 5 (no one seems to like it)
WinXP Pro I give a 10 (full customization and a neat non-destructive reinstall feature as well as fast file transfers).
WinVista 7 again (just too buggy poor search poor file transfer speeds and poor tweakability)
Win7 I give a reluctant 9 (much better than Vista but transfers still slow and seems
to be hard to customize (full row highlight, stupid Libraries and a Windows Explorer navigation pane that will not stay at the top).
Win8 (never used it)
Win10 (never used it)

There's a heap of versions missing from that list...
I'm not going to give an /10 for each but can pretty easily rank from best to worst.
Here you go for the ones I can remember using/worked on/own (not including Windows Server O/S):
Code:
Rank | Version
17 Windows 3.1
9 Windows for workgroups 3.11
12 Windows NT 3.51
16 Win95
10 Win95a (OSR1)
5 Win95b (OSR2)
8 Win95c (OSR2.5)
11 Windows NT 4.0
13 Win98
1 Win98SE
6 Win2000
18 Win ME
4 WinXP
14 Win Vista
2 Win7
15 Win8
7 Win 8.1
3 Win10
nb: can still lay my hands on installs for all but 1 (Windows 8.0) of the above
