I had a Core 2 Duo tower that shipped with Vista (and yes, I absolutely loved it). It has provided me almost 11 years of enjoyment, until the USB controller randomly stopped working meaning I couldn't use my keyboard and mouse anymore, or anything else that I plug into it.
I used Vista on it for 3 years, 7 for another 3 years, 8.1 for the 3 years after that, and 10 for the last 2 years. And if I had to guess, I probably enjoyed Vista on it the most, the experience only got slightly worse over the years until Windows 10 happened, which basically slowed it down to extreme levels. SSDs were too expensive for us at the time (still are), and I never really thought about switching to Linux at this point in time. I still have that computer, so if I manage to fix the USB problem, I might install Kubuntu on it.
