System as a service. I remember that as well. Obviously they didn't make as much money with it as they wanted to. Sooo they just draw an arbitrary line regarding supported CPUs, ditch Windoof 10, push 11, force users to upgrade their hardware and therefore often force them to buy new licenses and making new friends that way by starting that in the middle of the chip crisis. Then, captivating the user in their new OS, shoving ads down their throat, harvesting their data to make even more. What a shitshow.

The same story of publicly traded companies again and again.

Your steady growth isn't good enough.

Your growth has to grow - and if it's not growing fast enough then you're not doing your duty to the shareholders.

Add in the fact that we've let businesses get so large they empty all the air from the room and we've managed to enshittify our entire society.
