    Seriously, anytime people make complaints like these about windows, it just tells me they are either

    1. Tweaking their system in ways far beyond what the OS is designed for (which is fine, but then don’t blame Microsoft when updates break your system)
    2. Doesn’t know how to use a computer
    3. Knows how to use a computer but is willfully ignorant so they can rant at MS and get clicks
    4. Incredibly unlucky and not representative of the general population

      #1 is by and far the cause I see when people ask me ‘why did thing break?!’

      There’s a lot of ‘Well, I edited the registry and then deleted these two files and installed this 3rd party software so that it looks like it did in Windows XP!’ floating in my circles, which almost entirely correlates to the people who are mad that their install is, yet again, broken/not working as expected/having weird problems.

      Of course, people are doing this because Microsoft can’t stop shitting up Windows in a way that annoys people, and thus leading them to do things that maybe aren’t the best idea.

      So, in summary: it’s a land of contrasts, but stop adding bullshit nobody wants Microsoft.
