Windows has been enshitified for a long long time now. While there are improvements from their best windows (choose Windows 2000 or 7), usually there are enough "features" to offset the improvements. Lets take two thing - they can't get file search right - they have some slow, tedious indexing functions that take forever, whereas Everything just reads directly from the NTFS index/Fat table.
The start menu is also going downhill - it is slower than ever before. why - because it is connected to some strange online functions that are almost impossible to be completely disabled. Even in my quite cleared windows install finding a program to launch takes around 5 seconds for something that should be instant.
Their appstore is a failure (thank god, we don't need another walled garden)
Their mobile tablet strategy failed gazzilion years ago and yet they still try to move the control panel to their modern settings menu while severely limiting it's functionality.
They try to push online accounts for no good reason.
There seems to be something in this corporation that just prevent the top people to understand that some things - they got them right 2-3 decades ago, so just don't fuck them up.
Windows still lags on interrupts - and we have such cute situations where task manager shows in details sub 10% CPU usage, but performance tab shows 90%. Why - usually the answer is some form of I/O hiccup.
