Most of the pushback seems to come from a loss of trust. People feel Windows is becoming more of a service built around telemetry and ads rather than an OS they control. Until Microsoft addresses that underlying concern, frustration will keep showing up.

- beefnugs 10mo agoI never actually thought for a second that os updates would lose my files... until it proudly started saying on screen YOUR FILES ARE RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT THEM I knew then... that there was non zero chance those files will be right where i leave them. And sure enough it was months later some update deleted peoples files
- HugoTea 10mo agoTo be fair, they added that after an upgrade removed all of your files, so perhaps they felt they needed to re-assure the public it wouldn't happen again. It's a shame they didn't instead invest resources into actually making sure of that, because I'm pretty sure it happened a second time.

- robocat 10mo agoDirty upsells for recurring revenue. Apple pushes iCloud REALLY HARD. I'm on the free plan but I paid when on holiday and now I get heavy dark patterns from Apple (phone UI, emails, yadda). Android too? Persistently asking "Photos backup is turned off! Turn it on?" to use up storage to justify a subscription fee? Too often you can feel a UI push towards some revenue stream - frustrating UX!
