Why 80% and why since 2009?
- causi 4y agoWell I'm not going to pretend all of Microsoft's efforts have gone into being progressively more sleazy, just most of them. 2009 is the year Windows 7 released.
- quotehelp1829 4y agoWhat was it about Windows 7 that introduced network-sniffing, privacy-intruding malware?
- bitwize 4y agoThe idea is that Windows 7 was the last release without network-sniffing, privacy-intruding malware (at least, as it came stock from Microsoft, which it did not when preinstalled on a typical PC).
- causi 4y agoRemember being excited about the new version of Windows?
- bitwize 4y agoFor me it seemed that with Windows 11, Microsoft was attempting to recreate the hypetrain they'd built for Windows 95 -- but without the groundbreaking improvements over the previous version of Windows that Windows 95 had. And the result was just desperate and sad.
- causi 4y agoThe biggest difference between 10 and 11 is 11 is much harder to un-fuck.
- kasabali 4y agoI'm still excited about new versions of Windows. ...only that now it's more of a panic attack.
