    The Windows ecosystem is an abominable pile of half-finished apps and dark patterns that should be slam dunked into the trash. The problem is in the leadership that is laser-focused on milking business users who are used to Microsoft’s abusive practices.

      laser-focused on milking business users who are used to Microsoft’s abusive practices.

      The funniest thing I notice is how IT departments have to enforce all kinds of group policies and custom scripts and things to crowbar Windows into shutting up and just being a work OS.

      It’s just standard practice at this point to fight the thing into submission to get an install image that’s not nagging users or trying to upsell them on cloud nonsense and whatnot.

      It would of been smart to redo the whole thing and start over after they said windows 10 would be the last windows…

      Fuck compatibility and just start over with windows 2… Get rid of the bloat and crap… But yeah that would actually make more sense than making more profit…

          I don’t know if this is hard to wrap your head around… So you take all of the windows versions that currently exist and that is version one… And you start over from scratch with a brand new version maybe I don’t know a version two?

          Because they probably still have code from the original version of windows running…

            The screenshot I showed you IS windows 2. Maybe you are a bit too daft or I was a bit too pedantic for your smooth brain. In any case you were extremely rude.
