I disagree. In a business environment it is actually really good, or at least was pre-Azure. I dislike that they are trying to push people to Azure instead of on-prem.
For home use it’s been pretty poor since Windows 8 and seems to be turning to shit since Windows 11.
Windows 11 did one good for me though. It’s been enough to push me to properly give Linux a try again. Proton has been a major step forward as gaming has been the main reason I never stuck. I’m currently spending more time in Arch (btw) than Windows.
Microsoft has always been good at catering to businesses and hooking them on windows+office+etc.
But there has always been better alternatives around, OS/2 was so much better than windows 3.x, and WordPerfect was better than word. I’m sure there are countless other examples.
