Windows 2000 is also missing and was probably the last time Microsoft put out an OS that was good from the start rather than sucking on release.

Also the ones listed as bad from Vista onwards simply never got the improvements.

Vista was actually shockingly solid by the end. 7 on release was essentially just Vista Service Pack 3 with a new taskbar skin, because Vista was completely unmarketable by that point and nobody could be convinced to jump to Vista anymore.

Win2K was the last version of Windows I liked. By 2007 I'd had enough of their shit and moved to Linux. Each and every year since then has validated that choice, as desktop Linux has improved and Windows has enshittified further and further.
