The MBA dickheads took Microsoft over years ago. Engineers used to have some input on features and design, but those days are long gone. I know the term enshittification has been overused, but it applies double to Microsoft.
Tools like ShutUp10 (which works on Windows 11) are the only reason I can bear to use their bloated horrible OS for my job.
Office 365 pissed me off so much I only use LibreOffice now (and it's excellent).
We should all be using Linux, but some folks (like me) are trapped for now.
I just recently updated shutup10 because of another annoyance of windows and was surprised that it didn't solve my problem right away. Even with shutup10 it's barely bearable.
I don't use either if those and I'm not having this "barely bearable" experience. What do you guys see that is bothering you so much? I don't get any ads or crap installed when I setup a new PC. Is it because I'm using Win Enterprise?
