Microsoft is serious about fixing Windows, and it's doing things right this time

The issue is that these things only come after they’ve cross the line and there is enough public backlash to make fixing it a business decision. Doing the right thing to make a good experience is not the core driver internally. They are trying to find the line of how much bs people are willing to tolerate. They aren’t removing the ads, they are reducing them… that’s them looking to find that line.

> People didn't believe they'd do it, but they actually have reduced the ads

Reduced, not eliminated. Also, no mention of improvements for many of the more egregious problems, such as the requirement to have a microsoft account.

These improvements are improvements and welcome, but are only addressing the relatively minor problems.

It’s like being in an abusive relationship.

Windows cant be fixed.

Drives for example are a big problem for all operating systems from Windows to Linux. The fundamental architecture of both was set in concrete a long time ago and cannot be changed.

lol no. They don't get kudos for fixing problems they willfully created.
