Yeah slowly, it started years ago but it's been getting worse every version, slowly
Fast would be if windows 8 had ads and non uninstallable internet exploder etc
Sounds like someone who doesn't remember windows 8!
Ads: https://hothardware.com/news/microsofts-big-hidden-windows-8-feature-builtin-advertising
They were working on it... and had it working in several places.
Uninstallable IE: https://www.technorms.com/34477/uninstall-internet-explorer-11
While not literally uninstallable... they definitely made it a lot harder.
Windows 7 was the last good version of windows.
Disagree, 7 wasn't the worst but the last actually good version of windows was XP service pack 2
it is
That goes for almost any software.
Why not XP SP3?
Becouse SP3 was the first time Microsoft really let loose with the telemetry iirc
Interesting - I didn't know that. Thanks!
Funny thing is that 8 had 2 LTSC-like versions:
Embedded Industry and the EEAP builds.
EEAP builds were released to partners (e.g. Nvidia and Intel) only.
Industry Pro is like a precursor to modern day IoT LTSC.
Windows 8(.1) was still utter trash, I actually "down"graded to windows 7 at the time and it was a bliss.
(it wasn't the non-stop-ads kind of trash, but the UI suited a tablet more than a desk/laptop)
Yeaaaaaah, I don't know what Microsoft were thinking trying to force a unified UI on everyone... It didn't work
If only every Windows install came with an internet exploder! We wouldn't have to read Elon Musk X fluff pieces on the news ever single day. And privacy concerns... What privacy concerns?
The freemium model was launched and completed with Win10.
