Idk people speculate a lot
Jeets hiring jeets that really have no business coding
Vibing 30% of new code
Windows crashing has been a joke since like the 90s
Windows 10 at launch you may not remember but it was horrific

The 9x variants of Windows were always kinda bad. However, all the 64-bit NT variants of Windows were pretty solid, as they were all based on Windows Server. Even Windows Vista was quite good if you were using the 64-bit version after SP1.
I've never had stability problems with Windows. The problems with Windows are the performance problems, the weird bugs with the filesystem that have been there for 30 years, the enshittification, the removal of features, the shitty security record, bullshit proprietary tech that doesn't work properly in the OS.

Exactly, I didn't switch until support ended for Windows 7 and I never had any problems. Windows 10 was great for me, I could leave my computer on for days and never have an issue, now with Windows 11 the same programs on the same hardware crash literally crash every five minutes and I am now getting everything set up on Linux mint and everything is running fine again.
This is why stocks are insanely stupid. He is killing the company, no one wants to use their software and market share is going down yet people are throwing money at a company that is dying. This company may be fine right now, but in 20 years? Not so much.
Desktop Windows isn't Microsoft's focus anymore, it's cloud cloud cloud from here on out.
I think this is short sighted but I'm just some guy. If the French and Germans are serious about moving away from Microsoft products then others will follow, especially if it's cheaper. That's going to be a long process, though.

This isn't true. Almost all normie people in business use Office, Azure, etc. It is impossible to say what will happen in 20 years, but I would wager they will be around for ages.
The consumer space they lost back in the 2010s when they didn't take the iPhone and Android seriously. I would say they were losing a lot of that when they didn't manage to compete with the iPod properly.
I think Office, Azure and Windows are shit (because they are), but I am not going to pretend that people don't use this stuff and it will be around for a long while yet.

Sometimes business trends can change in an instant. DEI hiring practices spread like wildfire, It's perfectly possible for a trend to spread to switch to using ipads or electric typewriters for work.

For a long time we've been slowly stepping back to a mainframe style of compute, where home devices do extremely basic tasks but everything else is on servers. Aside from gaming and multimedia software, most people would be fine with a tablet or Chromebook day to day. Which also means they would be fine with something like Mint but they're not even aware that's an option.

i remember living through vista it was so bad i switched to ubuntu
sp1 came too little too late and didn't solve the biggest problem which was cheap laptops that weren't capable of running vista in the first place
linus just the tip did a video on vista and it kinda pissed me off because he completely misrepresented the average user's vista experience by running it on a high end gaming pc with all the patches we didn't have
