I am case study in how MS lost the plot completely. W10 became deprecated; W11 invalidated my perfectly capable workstation. Instead of throwing out my hardware, I installed Ubuntu and found it better than even W10.

Meanwhile, the W11 ai/agentic/bloatware/update horror stories kept piling up. Lessons taken, I bought a new box and overwrote W11 with Ubuntu immediately (after all the forced W11 updates, of course). And I am a developer who previously used Windows my entire career. I should be a MS loyalist. But I will now only use windows for testing - never for any personal, practical or professional needs.

MS' customer losses have become rather one-way. I won't go back to it.
