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.

      It wasn’t. It was simply better. That was the trend all the way through to Windows 7, with a few bumps along the way. Then things went downhill.

        Vista was a nightmare 8 was awful

        Windows has consistently released 1 good, 1 bad for a long time now.

        The thing is I think win11 is terminal. It’s just forever windows because they can milk it for ads without needing to iterate.

          Vista’s problem was just the terrible third party drivers and the fact that it was preinstalled on machines it had no business running on. 7 didn’t improve much on it (except fixing the UAC prompt so that it no longer made you feel like you’re using Linux with misconfigured sudo timeout), but it had the benefit of already having working drivers from Vista and proper hardware capable of running Vista/7.
