XP was the start of the enshitification, I knew I couldn’t stay on windows with that release.
Although after Bill (how can this sell more windows) left and they were very open about being a DATA collection company first, a computer service company second, I thought they might simply offer windows for free.
With all this shit in it of course because that is how you satisfy data collection.
But I guess they figured why kill the revenue stream of windows itself.
Windows 7 was legitimately decent. I think it was also the automated upgrade to Windows 8 that was my red line and got me to successfully switch to Linux.
