The result of development driven by "group studies" and "user feedback". When you conform to the ideas of the most basic users, you get a system unfit for those that that are not browsing Facebook and playing Farmville.

Windows lost 10% market share to mac and Linux since 2019. Microsoft should be firing more people and having singular leadership in direction. Make something for the developers, the graphic artists, the people that need their operating system to be apart of their work, not hinder it.

This falls on deaf ears of course, Microsoft is far from saving unless something significant of top leadership gets the boot and somehow attracts a new visionary that isn't already working in greener pastures.
