As for me, I don’t see any good reason to continue using Windows because M$ forces users to use online accounts.

    Windows is the most embarrassingly-made major software still being manufactured and purchased. There’s nothing like it.

    I feel sorry for all of the software engineers at Microsoft who are too used to their paychecks to get work that matters.

        Oh excellent point.

        I’ll amend it with “widely-distributed” software. Software without a captive business audience.

        Luckily I don’t have to deal with much ERP software lately (or something like Workday, which is also awful). I’d put Oracle on this list too.

      all of the software engineers at Microsoft

      They got fired a while ago. It’s only copilot defecating slop, now, which explains why every single update permanently breaks some fundamental feature that had been working for ages.
