HOLY FUCKING SHIT this operating system makes my laptop almost explode. My laptop runs cooler and uses less resources when I am on Linux with Firefox open connected to a VPN AND playing games on PCSX2 Emulator. How fucking bloated can an operating system possibly be? Microsoft really knows what they're doing don't they
Microsoft only sells Windows when users buy a new license, which is almost always bundled with an OEM install on new hardware for home users. Convincing home users they need to buy a new computer is really the only way they can profit off Windows for home users, and modern hardware can run 5-10 years before it starts to fail.
I suspect Windows’ bloat creep is a feature, not a bug.
