"Microsoft shipped a Windows Update that puts advertisements into the start menu, advertisements into the task bar, and changed the control panel's user interface to unify it with their business incentives - namely a superficial makeover to justify customers paying additional money for what is effectively worse software - it has new bugs and is now ridden with advertisements. This caused a bunch of churn in their own codebase, as well as other software trying to use native user interfaces on Windows."
I haven't seen Microsoft for a half dozen blessed years now as I got out and I've never run it at home for myself - nor any Apple products.
I know MS's keylogging, spying, nasty ways, but this surprised even me! Wow. So much enshitification!
I've *never* been able to understand why anyone would use MS since MS-DOS days, but now? You'd have to be actually masochistic. Disgusting.
Absolutely disgusting - and so many people keep using it!
