I'm not a marketing person but maybe they should try making an OS people actually want.
They do this every 4-5 years. Nobody is ever bothered enough to cause a problem for Microsoft's bottom line.
We need to wait for the next version, 12 or wherever. Every other Windows version is “good”
Yeah, it definitely has the Star Trek movie curse.
Each only in comparison to its predecessor, though. I still think Windows 7 was the last version to get out of its users' way and just let them use their computer; everything since then has been worse than 7 in some subtle way.
They do. It's called Windows 10 LTSC.
Why would they do that when people use this one all the same?
