There is nothing new here. Any new Windows version has transformed the previous generation of PCs into trash since people moved from DOS as a main user interface to Windows 3.
And people say "my PC is slow because it is getting old"... Even if the hardware has the exact same performance and almost the same usage like in its first day.
Why should they stop when customers comply and give them money? ... for ethics? for the environment? Who believes Microsoft has such concerns?
- Sebb767 5y ago> Any new Windows version has transformed the previous generation of PCs into trash since people moved from DOS as a main user interface to Windows 3. The difference is that earlier hardware upgrades were important and did improve performance heavily. 2001 just saw the advent of 1 Ghz CPUs [0]. In 2011, quad-core CPUs at 3.5 Ghz were the standard, probably a performance upgrade of an order of magnitude, at least. But since then? The i5 2500 does still hold a bit of water to the Ryzen 5 5600 [0]. Sure, it has more cores and more single-core performance, but it's nowhere near that much of a difference. Windows 10 still runs perfectly fine on this hardware, even better than Windows 7 did - and not by accident, MS did optimize that! This is absolutely a new low for Microsoft.
