There's no amount of progress that will make me go back to Windows.

1. Microsoft accounts. No. 2. Ads in my OS. No. 3. Slow copying of files. No. 4. A maddening mix of UI/UX paradigms and implementations. No. 5. AI deeply embedded in my OS. No.

They're doing what management/business-strategy is asking them to do.

Not even the MBA types would mess things up this bad, it feels like Microslop is now full of programmers that make something and just ship it, no thought or any brain cells involved.

I just don't see that happening in an Agile (the tech software dev term) workplace - it's got to be clueless Product Managers driving this. And even those folks have to answer to their management.

Tying it back to what's happening at the broader business level over the past few months - see this comment of mine [1] - there's got to be some degree of chaos at the business strategy level, and that's showing up at our consumer level.
