I begrudgingly switched to Macs about 10 years ago, but still use Windows at work and admin my kids’ machine because they wanted to build their own and play games.
Windows at work is locked down and I guess functional for the thousands of people who want to write word docs and just need things to work.
My home Windows is a nightmare to admin and has made my kids not like computers (particularly sad because my youth was spent poking around widows). It has malware despite all the Windows bloat that constantly pegs the CPU. It also frequently prompts for admin for unknown reasons. It also will force updates that take an hour. It also has things that don’t work, like screentime that blocks the UI but still allows processes to run, with audio and video.
I have a pinhole and it’s constantly calling out to numerous services.
It’s such a terrible experience from an admin and user perspective. I hope windows11 helps. I suspect that we’ll just give up games and buy a ps or xbox and the kids will live on iPad or android with a game system.
Windows has an opportunity to be a hub, but their stuff is so bad right now.
