Will anyone at MS learn a lesson from this and stop taking their OS development in directions the user doesn't want it to go? Or is that just crazy talk?
They know most users don't have a choice and will upgrade when their current OS goes EOL or they buy a new computer. If it were for me I would have kept the Windows 7 shell and upgraded the operating system under the hood. Why change someone's workflow with a worse version of what you previously had. Like the awful search in Windows 10 that looks stuff up in Bing before searching the hard drive. Who thought that was a good idea? IT WORKED JUST FINE IN WINDOWS 7.
