I'll be focused on Windows product here and, in particular, the last 8 years of development culminated in a major disaster.From 2017 until 2018 - we started to use Windows 10 on daily basis. Update after update, improvements and overall performances (until the first service pack) were excellent and no trace of useless features made the OS just decent, reactive and performing especially with NVME M.2 setup despite we had no "windows update only" feature in the background like the Xp era (probably the highest peak in quality before the very decline).From 2019 until today - the company changed their internal policy giving the illusion, especially to the employee, to be relevant and important on better OS development, general design and things that should be "unique features" but they are just merely useless, probably addressing all the recent instability of Windows 11 updates as the source of the problems.Unfortunately, selling licenses or contracts or sponsorships (like the pointless "gurus" on Youtube does) will not save this company from the blame of being just unreliable under their very design core. They don't care to improve. At least, that is my personal feeling about it. The desktop environment became a pale imitation of Gnome/KDE from Linux based systems. The designers think that the common user is stupid but that's not the case. The file manager is not even able to save, instantly after closing or rebooting the whole working session, the tab status (only the new wordpad does) and the tabs system itself has been copied and pasted from Thunar File Manager after...15+ years? That is appalling. Very negative.Not to mention the security breaches in the background, UEFI setup that force your system to exclusively comply under Microsoft standards systematically messing up the Grub2 boot loader for the ones that wants to preserve Linux based systems, apps like EA that also are very unreliable dumping your RAM with background processes that may be easily avoided. The Windows Compatibility Layer for Linux is a pointless feature. Why install a sort of reverse Wine for open source apps that should be easily compiled as native because they still lack in x64 architecture for things like Clementine (a great audio player) when you have Linux based systems that just works fine and in the way they should be?January 1st, 2024 - I've definitely dumped them into the trash in favor of Linux openSUSE Tumbleweed with LTS Kernel. It's my daily driver: reliable, safer and more in line with the hardware upgrades I used to do. The hardware itself also have a much better lifespan, including that epic Creative Sound Blaster Z cards that still damn rocks on my 9 years old Creative GigaWorks T20 speakers.Microsoft, why bother? The balance cost/performances is something serious. Something that this corporation totally lost with too much "features" and account merging since the Xbox One era, making their platform even more unsafe with side attacks (in my case almost five a week from so called hackers, kids that have nothing better to do). It is also difficult to understand their real purposes here, under basic software design criteria. An OS should do the OS with a centralized control panel for all the system configuration, packages, installations, security updates, CPU microcode updates and so on.In conclusion, Microsoft is the main potential unsafe breach on hardware level. If you want to risk to put your investments (money, time, work and even free time for multimedia pleasure) in danger, be my guest choosing them once again. Their redemption will be very difficult in the next years especially after that TPM move that only raise barriers between their standards and the open source community. The old, bad and ugly way to be since Bill Gates management despite he's no more on the board, officially.
