Man MS,…

-W8=> dude, we just want an OS that works

-Voice commands=> please don’t give hackers that kind of acces through our speakers

-Vista=> just fkn work already

-Onedrive all over the place=> nope

-365=> no thx

When will these assholes learn? If this is the straw that breaks multiple camels then good.

Windows users want a menu button in the lower left corner and shit to work after a short installer. How the fuck do you keep messing that up?

    Capitalists are literally Mt Krabbs:

    "Squidward! New rule! All customers must fill in this survey about the details of their day before they order!" Drops a giant stack of papers on the counter

    Squidward sighs "Why are we doing this?"

    "Because then I can sell their information for more MONEY! Hyukukukukuk!"

    Every update it tries to dark pattern me into setting up a one drive backup to prepare to update to windows 11. Which my pc isn't qualified for.

    I'm still on W10 and this is what's happening to me, my hardware is good enough, but I don't want W11. It keeps forcing me to upgrade, it even downloaded the update without my consent and one day it just started installing, despite me telling it not to at every possible point. Something went very wrong with the update and after I rolled back to W10, my OS got corrupted and now I am moving to Linux Mint, as soon as I make sure nothing in my actual PC broke (event log says harddisk has bad blocks, but this only started happening after the forced update screwed things up).

    How anyone at Microsoft thinks this is ok and a good way to treat a reliable user since W95, is just beyond me. But I am really excited to dip into the Linux world, finally!

    Also UI that operates near instantaneously. Not waiting for the option I want to pop in.

    Also not having online search results posted above the locally installed programs. If I search for “cmd” and hit Enter, I want it to open Command Prompt. I don’t want to do a fucking Edge search for “cmd”, or have it open some internet ad for something else named “cmd”.

    -365=> no thx

    Actually, being able to collaboratively work on the same document is a game changer. Not unique to 365 but a step up from sending PowerPoint files back and forth.
