Tbh I don't think Microsoft's fault-rate has actually gotten noticeably higher post-AI.

It feels like the severity got worse, though. Maybe I just got unlucky.

I've mostly run Windows Enterprise for my job for decades.

And yes, there have always been "nothing useful is happening until Microslop fixes their shit." days.

But the issues last year finally got me to shift even my work PC to Linux, because I felt that the Windows productivity cost shifted from "wait a day and laugh it off" to actually threatening my ability to deliver solutions.

If the descent had been less rapid, I would have just had central IT send me a Mac. But central IT seemed overwhelmed, and so Linux Mint is just working now.

Anyway, I totally agree this has been going on for decades. I'm just curious how/why it got so much worse, for me personally, last year.

I suspect all the QA engineers laid off have something to do with it, or course.

Severity definetaly feels worse, its gone from:
I need to reformat this PC to unfuck whatever windows did to get itself stuck in a loop.
to
Somehow the update did something so horrific to the hardware itself that even an entierly new hard drive does not fix the problem.
