You're not wrong, and I agree in that it feels like W10 is where MS finally got it right.

However, hindsight is 20/20, and those sentiments were definitely not felt in the first few years after W10 was released. Once all the big issues were worked out and people figured out how to remove the bloat/spyware shit though, it was a solid OS. I still run it on my gaming PC (for now - tested some crucial programs last night on my laptop running LMDE6, great success)

What did W11 add that we didnโ€™t have before? A TPM requirement? Ads? AI slop/shovelware/spyware?

W11 right now is essentially a shitty skin on top of W10, with all that extra shit. The kernel is still version 10.x.whatever FFS ๐Ÿ˜…. But SHINY INTERFACE and ONEDRIVE

I have nothing to hide

Yeah, you do.

You might run into an extra grumpy customs/ICE/TSA/whatever person who felt offended at your mere existence.

I'd rather show him lying dead in the street, in a pool of his own blood. Hogtied for extra snowflake reaction.

These are the people that companies like Apple pander to, with the whole "it just works" schtick.

Microsoft: you had a good thing with Windows <previous version>, and you pissed it all away when you put out the crap that is Windows <new version>.

Ftfy.

That said, there is something to be said for how popular Windows is, and the modifications and QoL improvements offered by 3rd party devs.

allergy to MMR

That's my wife. To say we're worried would be an understatement.

but Iโ€™ll gladly pay to have people go to Washington to express my opinion on my behalf.

Those are called "lobbyists"

NGL, I'd really like to have an app to control my car for starting and climate control. But I want full control of it, on my terms, and I know that's never gonna happen.

Yeah, I try to forget it exists and only check it every few months.

If pirates are going to keep hiding behind the "piracy is a service problem" line then at some point they do need to admit that paying for the product is actually the more sensible and straightforward option if they have reached a deadend elsewhere.

Uh, yeah, that's why "piracy is a service problem" was even a thing in the first place. Music is a great example, because you can get nearly every artist on every streaming service.

This is a widely-known fact often acknowledged by most pirate types.
