Starting? It's been a running joke around certain communities (including this one) for years and years.
I don't use anything from Google I'd consider critical if there is a reasonable competitor.
Say what you want about Microsoft they generally don't just chop you off at the knee's (I mean they've done it but not in the way google does).
- tomatotomato37 8y agoI would say Microsoft actually goes to far in the other direction; they have so much legacy cruft from supporting features that were last used during the Reagan administration that it adversely affects the quality of their products.
- toast0 8y agoWindows 10 is abandoning cruft, but that hasn't seemed to help with product quality. (Maybe they shouldn't have eliminated the separation of test and Dev)
- cannonedhamster 8y agoWindows 10 actually moved to the test in production model. That's why consumers get the releases first. That way if it brick's granny's laptop she won't be able to complain to anyone about it online.
