Always has(n’t) been.

I disagree.

  • XP felt like it was mine.
  • 7 felt like it was mine
  • 8 felt like they were trying to force something on me.
  • 10 felt like they were pushing bloatware like a cell phone. At least l could remove some of that?
  • 11 feels like they decided it's their computer, I'm just renting time in it by watching ads. You could remove half the programs by default and I would not miss any of them. Do I need a version of minesweeper with micro transactions? No!

I'm sorry, there's microtransactions in minesweeper?

And unskippable ads in solitaire

This is an OS (most people) pay for

I'm sorry what??? I switched from 10 to Linux becouse of how bad 11 was, but that sounds ridiculous even for Microsoft

Oh, it's now tied into Xbox Live so you need an Xbox account, get achievements, collectibles, challenges and making it ad free requires a subscription of €1.99 per month. Not shitting you.
