So much drama. Anyone still using Windows must not dislike the behavior enough to switch.

I've used Linux for over 10 years now because I disliked this Microsoft culture even back then with Windows 8 or whatever it was back then. Why are people still using Windows today when Linux is easier than ever?

Windows 7 was a good OS, it tended to not spy on the user. You can see the difference in installation options if you put it into a virtual machine and run it. Compare with today's windows.

Then compare Linux distros 10 years ago with current ones. Only gotten easier to use and much better looking.

I might make the switch, but what I really want is for Microsoft to get their shit together.

It would take a HUGE amount of users to leave their platform for them to even consider changing.
