Yeah, the explanation sounds all good and professional but it deeply contrasts with my Windows experiences.

While I can believe there are serious people working on this OS, I often seriously get upset by all the crap Microsoft is putting in Windows. (There was this time where it downloaded 'Candy Crush' on its own!?). I would prefer a few easter-eggs instead.

Seriously Microsoft, please be coherent.

This post is 13 years old. They may have been totally coherent in 2005 but lost their way by 2018.

If anything I think they were probably less coherent. Remember: this was still the era of Steve Ballmer and - to a much lesser extent by this time - Bill Gates.

They still thought Windows Mobile was going to take over the world of handheld computing, and Silverlight was going to take over rich applications on the web, and on it goes. Vista hadn't even been released and, if you want to talk about incoherent, let's maybe start a conversation about Windows Vista.

You're right, I haven't seen it and thought it was more recent.
In fact, the title got corrected from 2015 to 2005.
