My top 5:
1. Windows XP x64 (based on 2003 R2 code base) - it's extremely lightweight and lightning quick, it was well supported on the X58 platform with GeForce graphics despite the general driver availability woes
2. Windows Vista Ultimate - workflow and user experience probably peaked here, and it would have been a no-contest win as far as eye candy and functionality goes if it supported Windows 7's corner peek feature. Unfortunately, hardware wasn't ready for it and it got a terrible reputation due to driver stability problems and OEMs selling "Vista-capable" PCs with a single-core chip and 512MB of RAM
3. Windows 2000 - probably the most versatile OS that will ever exist for its exceptionally slim footprint
4. Windows 10/11 (they are really the same OS) - extremely powerful OS despite workflow shortcomings and technical problems that come from Microsoft's strict enforcement of update and security policies due to some Windows users' persistent and ingrained bad habits of using modified pirated system images and taking no steps to maintain and update their systems, rather serviceable if you have the right tools (perma-disable Windows Defender, telemetry, install Winaero Tweaker, Start11 or RetroBar, etc.)
5. Windows 7, while I largely consider it to be Service Pack 3 for Vista, it's been a stable and reliable OS through its long and dragged-out service life. Time to stop using it though folks. Whatever you need Windows 7 for, use VirtualBox or VMware to run it.
