I’ve never understood Microsoft’s design and marketing strategy.
They appear to exist in some sort of mirror universe in which quality is a bad thing, so they mostly build OSes that are bloated, clunky garbage and do everything they can to fool/coerce/force people into using them. But then every once in a while it’s like they accidentally let an actually decent OS slip through, and they immediately panic and start trying to kill it. Like they can’t cope with having an OS that people actually want to use, and can’t wait to get back to where they’re comfortable - fooling/coercing/forcing them to use bloated, clunky garbage.
