#3The issue is that these things only come after they’ve cross the line and there is enough public backlash to make fixing it a business decision. Doing the right thing to make a good experience is not the core driver internally. They are trying to find the line of how much bs people are willing to tolerate. They aren’t removing the ads, they are reducing them… that’s them looking to find that line.

#4lol no. They don't get kudos for fixing problems they willfully created.

You make the best case for not using windows at all.

#6Windows cant be fixed.
Drives for example are a big problem for all operating systems from Windows to Linux. The fundamental architecture of both was set in concrete a long time ago and cannot be changed.

#7> People didn't believe they'd do it, but they actually have reduced the ads
Reduced, not eliminated. Also, no mention of improvements for many of the more egregious problems, such as the requirement to have a microsoft account.
These improvements are improvements and welcome, but are only addressing the relatively minor problems.

Hard to call Windows an operating system nowadays when its main only purpose nowadays is to extract personal data from whoever uses it.
I don't expect anything changes positively for the users - at least for those who are aware of all hostile features done since 2015. Microsoft aims at different clients now and for what we can see, desktop software and its quality isn't a priority anymore.
