All three are reported to have broken some feature for some users.

Windows 10 isn’t the only freebie Windows users can look forward to this summer from Microsoft. When the menu was removed from Windows 8 in favour of a touch-based interface, widespread fan outrage forced Microsoft to put it back in a major update.
The Register added: “Updates that offer minimal information about their functions don’t inspire confidence”. The privacy concerns caused by Windows 10’s various network-connected components have been blown wildly out of proportion by incorrect social media messages and hyped-up media reporting. But there’s a whole other level of internet piracy, and it happens on private torrent groups.
The long-delayed Windows 95, launched o August 24, 1995, borrowed features from competitors to make computers easy to work and play on – though occasionally you’d have to drop into the DOS command line and type out commands manually. The latter is considered to be Microsoft’s most popular OS, and the operating platform continued to be supported officially by Microsoft for more than a decade.
In a YouTube video, iTS proclaimed that “Windows 10 is nothing more than a spy tool that will keep track of every action, email, conversation, video, picture, or anything else that you do on your computer”.
iTS also claimed that Microsoft is submitting “the contents of your local disks” to the servers of MarkMonitor, a firm that provides many services including anti-piracy.
TorrentFreak has emails and information, internal and external, that explain the situation, and suggests that the ban is overkill and that some common sense and education would be preferred instead. It can even disable them. But again, there’s no sign that this is actually happening, so all we have are a few sites taking an abundance of caution in lieu of hard evidence.
“Obviously this goes way too far and is a serious threat to sites like ours which is why we had to take measures”. For example, the operating system was the first to introduce the taskbar in Windows, allowing users to quickly and easily switch between programs. “That would mean you can not use the site with the OS installed”, FSC staff wrote.
