Thanks for sharing. Has the situation improved? I don't know. Fortunately I only touch windows at work in order to launch VirtualBox

  Feels like windows has regressed since Windows 7. Usability wise its gotten way worse. I guess the top was windows 2000, XP, Vista(after some time) windows 7. Microsoft actually shipped a windows version(win8) which had a touch first interface this got installed on millions(billions?) of desktop computers and nobody liked it. It's insane to think about.

    > Feels like windows has regressed since Windows 7. Ah, but fortunately Microsoft has realized this so there’s a way to access the control panel from the previous version. Every time you click “advanced” you get transported 1 window releases back in time, like a Russian doll. When in doubt, open minesweeper.

    Windows 2000 was perfect. Super fast, minimal UI, rarely crashed.

  Has it improved in 20 years? Yeah.

  Somewhat, yes. They at least have an embryo of a working store now for example. So for the things that microsoft package that do work through the store, that's at least quite functional.

However, they are shown among third-party apps, a lot of which are scams or low-quality. For all the flaws that Microsoft.com has, I wouldn't expect to find scams or malware on their downloads page.
