It seems that Windows is purposely made worse version by version, and it is probably a strategy (i.e. not a mistake).

Still, what if the AI/subscription crap does not pay off or the market segment suffers a major decay?

Often history shows that when a company attacks to its own genes in the favor of profit, at some point this tends shoot back.

I'm worried about Windows, I always have at least one Thinkpad with Windows installed, and in the end of the day NT kernel itself is pretty cool entity (if you are interested on OS kernels).

Also, what is there to hate if Windows deceases :-/

@jarkko macOS is still right there to be hated, they've just removed UI readability with zero profit motive!

I think a lot of people are worried. What the Linux-only lot don’t get is that because of the availability of Windows, it’s ingrained into a lot of people’s workflows, and there is software that just simply works best on Windows.

I think the way Windows has been stumbling is part of why some companies have gone on the attack, such as Apple with its Creative Suite (not only competing against Adobe, but gets people adapting into their ecosystem easier, which is an attack on Windows too).

I heard a theory that Liquid Glass happened so people would get distracted from Apple Intelligence being such a failure with the BBC News/Luigi Mangione screenshot.

tl;dr: Apple’s AI summarised notifications misinterpreted an article about Luigi in probably one of the worst ways possible, to the point the BBC complained.
