Fast would be if windows 8 had ads and non uninstallable internet exploder etc

Sounds like someone who doesn't remember windows 8!

Ads: https://hothardware.com/news/microsofts-big-hidden-windows-8-feature-builtin-advertising

They were working on it... and had it working in several places.

Uninstallable IE: https://www.technorms.com/34477/uninstall-internet-explorer-11

While not literally uninstallable... they definitely made it a lot harder.

Windows 7 was the last good version of windows.

Funny thing is that 8 had 2 LTSC-like versions:

Embedded Industry and the EEAP builds.

EEAP builds were released to partners (e.g. Nvidia and Intel) only.

Industry Pro is like a precursor to modern day IoT LTSC.

Windows 8(.1) was still utter trash, I actually "down"graded to windows 7 at the time and it was a bliss.

(it wasn't the non-stop-ads kind of trash, but the UI suited a tablet more than a desk/laptop)

If only every Windows install came with an internet exploder! We wouldn't have to read Elon Musk X fluff pieces on the news ever single day. And privacy concerns... What privacy concerns?

Yeah slowly, it started years ago but it’s been getting worse every version, slowly

The freemium model was launched and completed with Win10.
