      Microsoft mid 2000s to 2010s released so many shit products like you said. Silverlight also comes to mind lmao.

      Honestly I think half the thing is that Linux probably had a moment a decade ago for reasons I can’t remember (windows vista? windows 7? prism scandal? no fuckin idea) and it was so much worse back then. I was there, I know it.

      Windows 8? I jumped ship in 2013 precisely because of Windows 8 and how Windows 8 was a sign for things to come. I think that was also around the time when Microsoft began aggressively pushing out telemetry bullshit. Extended support for XP ended in 2014 as well.
