Nothing short of a fallback to W2K would attract my attention: 1. No 'account' 2. No 'activation server' 3. No 1984 EGA color palette 4. No PlaySkool Day-Care Training tablet UI

There better be a Windows ARM laptop real soon or no amount of redesign will save them from the reality of Windows laptops running Intel/AMD being rated in hours of battery life and Macbooks being measured in days of battery life, with equivalent or better performance. Businesses don't care about fanboyism, they want the minimum cost for max performance. Right now, that's a M1 mac. Intel and Windows are shitting their pants right now. AMD is eating too much thermal paste in the corner to know what's going on.

*Cries in corner with PTSD flashbacks of Windows 8* "I can't go back. I can't go back..."

So ... 24 / 7 constant updates you can’t refuse, and minute by minute service billing?

Sweeping design changes through forced upgrades as per usual? Fuck Windows, fuck Microsoft, fuck Bill Gates and fuck you for still using Windows for anything besides strictly gaming.
