Microsoft is being sued by a man who feels cheated by the current plans to sunset Windows 10. He makes some good points, but I doubt he’ll win.

    I hope he wins.

    Windows peaked with XP. 7 was alright. 8 was a free fall of a downward slide falloff.

    Appified overly complicated slop and bloat filled garbage ever since.

      Win 7 for me. It didn’t try to fix what wasn’t broken.

      Win 11, like so many things today, feels like it’s just hostile towards users. They change shit for the sake of it, like where the fuck is My Computer? Why is it so bloody hard to find anything from the start menu, no I don’t want to search Bing for a settings menu thats in every other version since I can remember, no I don’t want be reminded every 3 days to give you my data for “customization” purposes.

      IDK I liked 7 pretty much as much as I like XP. For me it was 10 that was just alright.

      My brother convinced me to switch to 11 when I built my most recent gaming desktop and I somewhat regret listening to him but I know dual booting is a waste of time for me and I’m not quite ready to make the full jump to Linux because my desktop has a 4070 Super. It’ll ahve to wait until my next PC. Fortunately, I don’t have the version of 11 with Recall pre-installed at least.

      I use my Steam Deck more than my gaming desktop these days anyway.

        Why does the 4070 super keep you from switching to Linux? I have a gaming PC with a 4070 and I dont really have issues. No more than I did with windows in general

      They are a monopoly protected by patents. Completely unamerican philosophically.
