Microsoft is ruining Windows. It just keeps getting worse. Whether it be their insistence on AI and cloud garbage, or just a general sense of incompetence, I can’t help but feel like the operating system has seen better days.

Normally I wouldn’t care too much, big tech ruins another thing, whatever.

But the problem is Microsoft has such a dominant market share that you can’t really escape them.

I guess unless you use a Mac or something I don’t know.

    Windows have always been trash. Windows 9x were the worse.

    Windows NT was better, Windows XP was trash at release then got better with updates (the service packs).

    Windows Vista was a shitshow, then 7 was better. Windows 8 was horrible, the 10 was a bit better.

    Windows always oscillates between trash and acceptable. There is not much to “ruin” to be honest.

      What about Windows 95? When I installed that, I was literally mindblown (only one of my computers ran it). Win 3.11 was awesome too.

      I also liked Windows 98, Windows ME and XP (but, at the time, I did move to windows 2K fairly quickly). I did have a lot of ram compared to most others at this period too

      Honestly, loved Vista too (had Ultimate). I was running various linux distros and Mac OS in between those periods too

      However, what absolutely pissed me off, turned out to be in Windows 11, when every time I started my computer, Edge would open and would hijack all my Chrome tabs… Every single reboot…

      3 days later, I bought a mac Studio. I absolutely despise Apple because of how they treat developers, resellers, users and everyone in general. The hardware also kind of sucks (like the Mac Studio is one of the most expensive computers I’ve bought, and the M2 chip doesn’t even support raytracing). However, I don’t think Safari has ever popped open.

      Also, it seems Asahi has made a lot of progress. Linux has also made a lot of progress so ultimately, hopefully it works for my work applications eventually
