Historically tools like these were broken by windows updates and could not keep up with Microsoft's violent efforts in breaking them. You can't even turn off windows defender in the registry anymore, which is the sole reason windows performs terribly on low end devices. It sends the CPU and 5400rpm disk to 100% use all the time. Windows is a threat to national security and Microsoft must be sanctioned. Business if they wish to avoid crypto lockers and actually care about "cyber security" will drop windows in favor of Mac/Linux.

Interesting. My friend just put Windows 11 on his (original) Surface Go (Pentium Gold 4415Y, 8GB RAM, 128GB), and he cannot stop raving about how fast it is. He said he was considering putting Linux on it, but he isn't feeling the need to now. To be sure, that's not a 5400rpm desk, though, yeah, I haven't had to suffer through one of those in over a decade!

  It will be slow in the coming months. Windows has very fast UI response on fresh installs and degrades over time. It's really not an achievement to have responsive UI in 2021, Microsoft just hires the bottom of the barrel and bases everything on group studies, which yields the worst outcomes.

I agree. Windows is malware. Its good or bad bits are irrelevant, it's perfectly usable as an OS, but in the meantime it's loaded with malicious intent and its business advantage is ruthlessly exploited at every turn. So I don't think that the tool itself is that much useful either. It's good popularity for their creators, that's for sure, who very successfully jumped on the Win10 telemetry paranoia bandwagon. And who I think should change to Linux or BSD is not just business, it's governments especially. How they enable an auto-updating system of another superpower is beyond me.
