I still find Windows to be pretty snappy and easy to use, but I completely agree with the author about all of the junk that comes with it (or is suggested to you in the Start Menu) and the pushing of ads and Bing results/news articles. I've started to use macOS more and more at home in addition to at work. I've been contemplating just hooking up my Windows desktop to my TV to basically use it as a game console, because that's the only reason I really boot into it anymore. It's really hard for me to tell what the direction of Windows is these days. At least under Ballmer you knew what they were trying to do, either with the Windows Live software package or the push for Windows 8. What's humorous about this is that the disinterest in Windows is harming other areas of the company; the failure of UWP and the Windows Store continue to hamstring the XBox division, who had to build their own client for Game Pass games, and even that is a slow and buggy React Native app because Windows has no compelling native app dev focus anymore.
