    i think its important to note that microsoft has always sucked. internet explorer being bundled w windows was a huge issue and got them in serious trouble with antitrust law
    i'd say bill is still the good guy, the new ceo is the evil man behind windows 10-11

    One thing that's funny is I remember lots of people complaining about 10 like it was the worst thing ever when I was like 12, like them forcing updates and such... but yeah, Win7 is the goat
    yeah if windows 7 still had support or even windows 10. i probably won't have switched to linux just to avoid windows 11 & be using timeshift to fix some problems rn

    i mean microsoft ended up not losing that. its the reason theyre still a single company. they successfully appealed the decision so they wouldnt have to split the company

    true it did always suck. that's why i mentioned the thing about companies doing bad stuff behind the scenes but now it feels more front and center
