This post is also saying he wants to protect his child from social media _and_ have the ability to do so. Windows on the other hand, is saying, we're in charge, and no, we'll make sure you can't (easily) uninstall any of this. I never thought I'd see an OS become a thinly veiled advertisement platform, but here we are in 2023. It was tradition, even 20 years ago to "dump on Windows", but that was generally by programmers about the Win32 api, spyware/crapware, random crashes and so on, but the UI/UX even then didn't really get too much hate (as I recall it, anyway). I'm another 'me too' here. I've use Mac/Linux/Windows daily for work, but have used exclusively Linux (edit) at home since Windows 8, really. I keep a partition with Win11 on it, and when I do drop into it to run Windows Update stuff keeps coming back, or new crap appears on my Start Menu. Then I log out, and don't touch it for 6 months. The irony in 2023 that increasing amounts of software have Mac (and even Linux downloads), but don't have a Windows download. Something unheard of a decade ago. I'd love to hear Balmer's refrain in 2023. It won't be "Developers! Developers! Developers!" because we've all gone to Linux or MacOS.
