    The Windows ecosystem is an abominable pile of half-finished apps and dark patterns that should be slam dunked into the trash. The problem is in the leadership that is laser-focused on milking business users who are used to Microsoft’s abusive practices.

      laser-focused on milking business users who are used to Microsoft’s abusive practices.

      The funniest thing I notice is how IT departments have to enforce all kinds of group policies and custom scripts and things to crowbar Windows into shutting up and just being a work OS.

      It’s just standard practice at this point to fight the thing into submission to get an install image that’s not nagging users or trying to upsell them on cloud nonsense and whatnot.

        Affinity suite is dirt cheap and is a single purchase, none of that licensing crap.
