While I'm not mad at all that they've killed Cortana as a service, I am a little ticked that they used the name for their C- Siri and are now calling their AI service Bing AI instead of using the Cortana name for that

I would love to see/feel Windows is reaching the point where it's a small program with tons of optional programs, but god damn, I'm so sick of these bloated fucking OSes.

Android now takes 20+ gigs, Windows takes massive amounts of hard drive. And I know someone will say there's a way to configure it, but the amount of bloat that people just accept on programs is insane.

It's silly when Call of duty Warzone requires 150 GB, it's a bigger problem when windows continues to consume more and more memory with out a good reason other than pushing new products and services most customers don't want/use.

They’ve realized nothing. Have you opened Edge lately? A gazillion new privacy-invading features that could be relegated to web plugins. Bloat bloat bloat.

I'd pay extra for a windows that has nothing except the settings, task manager and the file explorer.

Why not use Linux? It will have exactly what you want, nothing more, northing less, it's free and beautiful and easy to use. There are open source variants for just about any software that you want..

I don't get why people still out up with windows
