It is amazing how much I dread new Windows features.

I mean, I was pretty optimistic for a long time. I loved the DRM/presentation changes and hardware scheduling. I like a new task manager or finishing half-finished settings menus or little security optimizations. This was even going into Windows 11.


Now...

I know they're not going to finish anything, like UWP or the settings menu they overhauled in Windows 8.

I know, in all likelihood, I'm not getting improvements to performance, presentation, latency, audio, resource utilization. No new filesystem or neat features...

We're getting bloatware. Or ads. Or tracking. Or broken Copilot in yet another orifice I don't want it in, and that's speaking as a fervent local ML runner.

And every time it updates, I know I have to check the programs, task manager, services, and purpose made debloating programs to see what crap I have to castrate next. It's unreal. No wonder folks are dumping it for Android/iOS.

Microsoft changes from a retail software seller to a service seller.

Windows is shit on purpose now. Before it was shit only because MS is inept.
