Windows 10 and 11 are miserable. At this point, I only use them for gaming, but just about every windows update breaks performance and stability, or introduces a headache. Sometimes they fix it, but mostly it’s drifting towards the abyss. Meanwhile, they endlessly shovel unwanted products and insert their corporate surveillance into just about every aspect of the Windows experience. I’m just sick to death of it. We are so close to the point where I can just delete it and run SteamOS exclusively or at least a majority of the time, and I cannot wait. In general, MS is pissing a lot away. Office, both the desktop apps and Office 365, are absolutely atrocious (just started using it due to a new job, I previous thought Google Docs was the worst). VSCode has become slow and frustrating to use. I stopped developing on their platform products long ago because most are a terrible value proposition and frustrating developer experience. I have been a dedicated DOS and Windows user since the 80s, and a Microsoft developer since late 90s and 2000s, but between Vista and Windows 8 it was clear they were circling the drain and I have been distancing myself from their products as much as I can.
