I've been a Microsoft user since DOS. 35+ years.
I stayed through every bad update, every bloated release. I don't switch - switching has a cost and I knew Microsoft. That loyalty was real.
Then something shifted. A direction. A pattern. A company that no longer deserved that trust.
I switched to Apple - a platform I knew nothing about a month ago. This is 100% on Microsoft. 0% on Apple.
I also replaced Copilot with Claude (Claudette). She talks to me like an adult.
Copilot is patronizing, condescending, wrapped in disclaimers like I'm a liability risk. That's not an assistant. That's a babysitter who doesn't trust you with scissors.
You had 35 years of loyalty. Think about what it takes to lose it.
⚠️ Disclaimer: This review was written with the help of Claudette (Claude, by Anthropic). Copilot was not consulted. It would have added 4 disclaimers and a safety warning.
