Windows needs a change in priorities

[Internetado]

We need to talk about Windows priorities as a product. And I am saying
this as someone who wants Windows to succeed - it's a great OS that,
despite it's naysayers, is still one of the best when it comes to
backwards compatibility and richness of functionality. I mean, I can
literally run a game written for Windows 95 on Windows 11 without major
issues (no, I am not going to open the SafeDisc can of worms this
time). I can't do that on macOS or Linux boxes reliably, and yet
Windows is doing a-OK with this task. That being said, I am
disappointed to see the direction that the OS is taking lately, and it
feels like a very odd misplacement of priorities, especially given the
advances that other Microsoft products are going through.

A detailed post outlining all the problems on Windows - problems that
are only getting worse. Using Windows these days feels like visiting
Times Square in New York - it's a cacophony of lights and colours and
advertisements and noise that, while an experience worth having, I
didn't want to stay for much longer than a few minutes. It doesn't have
much to offer besides the lights and colours and advertisements and
noise, because those are the very point of Times Square. There's
nothing else of value there.

Windows is the same - it isn't an operating system designed for its
users, it's an operating system designed to increase ad and services
revenue. The people in charge at Windows clearly aren't the people who
care about a coherent, welcoming, pleasing, thorough, and well-crafted
experience - it's the advertisement bozos and cloudbros who run the
Windows department.

And that's sad.
