    A year after the iPhone came out… it didn’t have an App Store, barely was able to play video, barely had enough power to last a day. You just don’t remember or were not around for …

    I run fleets for windows machines, servers, w10, w11, from a Mac. What Microsoft has done to windows 10 and 11 is ridiculous. Why is my taskbar still crashing in 2025. Why does ope…
