    Windows gets in the news almost daily with new ways they made their product worse. Of course people are shitting on them, it’s still as relevant as years ago.

      Absolutely this. If everyone just used their preferred OS and got along doing computer things, that’d be great. But when biggie-techs like M$ are constantly deciding to make stonks-money-fueled, idiotic waves that forcibly affect practically everyone who uses a computer at all, (like a dedicated “AI button” on keyboards. Or announcing they’ll suddenly just paperweight WMR (VR) devices whenever they feel like it, or the whole “Windows 11 makes a bunch of recent hardware incompatible” thing, or Bing shenanigans…), it draws plenty of justified ire.

      I grew up with Windows and loved it until later versions began getting more and more “user-hostile”.
