Recall the time when Windows came on a DVD, had no Microsoft account option on install, no ads in settings nor in the startup menu, no AI slop.
It was still shit, but it feels shittier now, and harder to setup and configure in a way that's bearable.
Yeah. Microsoft managed to make Windows both better and worse over time.
It's like a scissor, spreading ever wider. The shitty end convinced me to ditch Windows quite some time ago, so I'd say it feels like an asymmetric scissor.
