> I think Windows as an OS reached its pinnacle sometime around the XP timeframe; since then it has mostly been frustrating UI changes and feature removals, "security" features designed to lock down your PC against you and instead follow the commands of some corporate entity, and massive amounts of data collection.

This is bullshit.

There have been many huge behind the scenes efficiency improvements plus security improvements.

Seriously, Microsoft has issues but this sort of tripe doesn't help the anti-Microsoft cause.

Innocent bystander here just trying to learn, not trying to defy you, but could you inform me of these improvements? It feels like each iteration of Windows is just getting slower. I feel as though the software is getting worse than the hardware is getting better? Your thoughts?
