Windows hasn’t added any features of value since Windows ~~7~~ XP

Uhh, driver support and networking have vastly improved since Windows XP.

If you had ever done a clean reinstall of XP, you'd know what a pain it was to make sure you had your NIC drivers on a floppy or USB drive before you started.
