    Windows won’t turn around and go back to a simpler advertisement-free offline account model this decade. Core Windows developers may know that they’re making things worse. Leadership won’t care as long as they get temporary boosts in numbers for office, copilot, and OneDrive subscriptions

    Amazing thing for open platform operating systems when Windows Phone failed (MS managed that like trash. It didn’t have a chance)

        The primary customer that Microsoft serves now is the stockholder, not the individual user. They don’t even have decent support for IT staff - which is bizarre because it’d be a great revenue source if it weren’t such a joke.
