Windows is slowly transitioning from a paid and solid OS to freemuim spyware bloated dumb OS.
Slowly? This crap has been going on for years.
Sounds like someone who doesn't remember windows 8!

They were working on it... and had it working in several places.
Uninstallable IE: https://www.technorms.com/34477/uninstall-internet-explorer-11
While not literally uninstallable... they definitely made it a lot harder.
Windows 7 was the last good version of windows.
it is
That goes for almost any software.
Why not XP SP3?
Interesting - I didn't know that. Thanks!
Windows 8(.1) was still utter trash, I actually "down"graded to windows 7 at the time and it was a bliss.
(it wasn't the non-stop-ads kind of trash, but the UI suited a tablet more than a desk/laptop)
If only every Windows install came with an internet exploder! We wouldn't have to read Elon Musk X fluff pieces on the news ever single day. And privacy concerns... What privacy concerns?
The freemium model was launched and completed with Win10.
Isn't a process happening gradually over years "slowly"?
Would that not be slowly? What would you call slowly in this context?
Decades.
I don’t recall such issues with Win98 or XP
Dude, that was 22 years ago... I also remember Prince of Persia as if it were yesterday
I miss Windows Vista.
The arrow pointing downwards is about to be absolutely destroyed today. Edit: it turns out that it didn't.
I used to dual boot linux with windows Vista on an old laptop. I had only installed there the first assassin's creed and Rome total war. Nothing else, never really connected to internet. After 1 year of not using it a part than few total war sessions, vista was so slow that was unusable. It spontaneously became slow for no reason. I completely removed it, left only linux, and that laptop survived 7 years of intensive use, and was still working 10 years later (just too old).
Vista was a scam
Good for you, I'm never gonna get convinced.
I had no problems with Vista. I also built a new PC for it though.
Very similar story here: I bought a new computer that shipped with Vista.
I got horrendously tired of that Pentium 4 thing.
Blasphemy! Windows XP is the only King!
I don't really like XP's design anymore. I didn't like it back then either.
It started with Windows 8
Ready to feel old, that was 11 years ago^oo^oo^o
Ah maan, why'd you have to tell me that, it still feels like it came out just 3-4 years ago tops
Win8 wasn't freemium. Win10 was.
True but it's when Microsoft started to implement apps and such for tablets and hybrid laptops along with office 365.
Windows 2000 🫶
Because at this time the internet was still slow, not always on and optional on most computers, and Microsoft did not know if and how they should integrate the internet into the OS. The only thing they had at the time was some link to MSN on the desktop, and activeX (???) Where you could display websites on your desktop or within your program, but without the Browser controlls.
