Why do the windows OS's suck so much?

[Dolphin]

XP-> Vista-> 7.

Only good windows OS's. And Vista was only good because you could use XP any time you needed.

Now they put out garbage OS after garbage OS. Like at least the older garbage was ♥♥♥♥ like 2000 which was alright. Or vista which was just okay. (but with access to launching everything in XP made it decent)

Why and how did microsoft go so wrong? When will windows release it's next ACTUAL os? I feel like i'm living in a feaver dream waiting for them to stop messing around.

like is it that hard to improve on the progress they've made with xp through 7 without making it a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥? Do they even remember what simplifcity of design is about? ♥♥♥♥ me i feel like if i get a new computer i'm going to have to destroy the O.S. like the virus it is.

Your thoughts?

For people that use the app store on a desktop / laptop you are doing it wrong as they are for mobile devices. ;)

Step 1. Use classic shell to get windows looking just like xp / win 7 as you probably did if you used win 8 also.

Step 2. Disable the data mining crap win 10 uses in about 5 minutes unlike you can with mobile devices or chrome.

Step 3. Enjoy a os that's faster then win 7 or 8.

I'm a lot more a of a casual user these days, please elaborate on streamlining win10. I'm sure plenty of steam users could benfit

Truth is you better all be getting used to Windows 10. It is the only MS OS that will be supporting new hardware and overall it's more stable than it has been since I first installed it. My server has gone down 25% less over using Windows 7 for down time. And it has ability to run multiple desktops built in which I use. It also supports way more RAM per version of license. All other versions are history.

I have had no issues running my 600+ games (not all are on Steam). Biggest issues have been all the companies getting their drivers up to date. Majority have updated now to a usable level.

Linux is starting to catch up but it will take a few years to get all gaming ready so be patient. In the end it will be Linux as the king. Until then. I'm all about Win 10 if you own a lot of games.

If your hardware and install is done right Windows 10 works fine. DX 12. No other place.

Been there through it all for 30+ years.

Lists some the KB updates that interfere with telemetry and privacy

And I wasn't referring to the click bait "oh Microsoft is going to uninstall your dodgy pirated games" garbage.

Google 'speccy win 10 update' for one simple example where a perfectly functional and useful piece of software was disabled and Uninstalled by an update without prior notice to the end user, hence the 'without even notifying the user first' part in my original post.

Like I said, I like win 10, but there are just a bit too many little dodgy things going on in the background for my tastes.

I've seen Windows 10 not let you install software. But for ONE reason. They can't support it. Example the software that runs the function keys on my laptop they shut off due to to many issues supporting it. BUT I have found a way to loop around it and work just fine. If you know what you are doing you can run anything with Win 10. But I don't hack or abuse any licenses. If you do that I have seen issues with that. If you do good luck. But don't complain why stuff isn't working right.

The background stuff is big but it's not using that much CPU or that much RAM.

MIcrosoft is not dumb. They have more money and people to do it right than almost anyone.

The Windows OS is still the predominant OS for personal computers. That may change in the future, but we'll see. Microsoft bashing is not needed and your thread isn't either.
