But then why are they always complaining about it.
Windows is good at what it does but maybe like all things without radical reform its time is passed.
Long ago I stated that for most Windows users it is a love/hate relationship. I still stand by that statement. What Windows does well is greatly embraced, what Windows does poorly is much despised. Lately, IMO, Windows has significantly introduced a number of changes that are much despised. For example, Windows 10 key logger wasn't welcomed by most users. Only a minority of users enjoyed using Cortana. Windows 11 Recall was equally unwelcomed and in many cases so was Co-Pilot. Once people learned how Windows
One Drive worked most of them were not happy with it. Nonetheless the majority of these still used Windows. A large portion of them resorted to what I refer to as "surgery" and modified their Windows Operating systems.
People tend to stick with what they are familiar with. They don't want to go through the process of re-learning everything they presently feel comfortable with. Since the advent of Windows 8 Microsoft has been preparing for changes in the way of picking and choosing various applications that work with their operating systems from the Windows Store.
This is a splendid idea IMO. Alas, they should have continued with the elimination of needless telemetry, One Drive, Co-Pilot and other non-essentials, leaving the user the option of procuring these from the Windows Store. I have always been an advocate of the bare bones Windows OS because people know what they want and what they don't want. Who wants to buy apps they don't even want?
I think and agree that the time has come for radical reform and that a bare bones OS having only the standard basic features, like notepad, paint, the browser, manager, etc. is the right direction to take. I also think Windows should be more compliant with the premise that the end user's hardware is the PROPERTY OF THE USER, respecting the end user's choice of operating systems to the extent that they are able to use multiple operating systems, regardless of their origin, without interfering with the functionality of those said operating systems. In layman's terms they should be able to multi-boot to other operating systems without interference if they want to.
