Is it possible that Microsoft Windows is not a very good computer program
@mcc
It is.I went to see a good friend yesterday, I had to use his computer and I felt dirty using Windows 10.
...oh, wait, is it a flat square Windows logo ? That's Windows 11 
......at least he has Firefox....oh, a taskbar ad 
?I showed him Kubuntu on Distrosea.
I asked him if his computer worked well or was "muddy driving". I told him I could change his OS within 20 minutes with a spare USB key

@mcc Windows 10 is probably the worst version in my experience. I recall windows XP and 2000 as the best ones. Windows Vista was also terrible.

@mcc I moved both laptops to Linux mint Nov & Dec 2025.
@honor2025 @mcc Been using linux for over 10 straight years. It is so much less crappy.

@mcc WHAT???? /j

@mcc your asking the wrong question.
The right question is, is it possible windows is the worst OS in history due to being a giant black box.
@skedarwarrior @mcc Is it worse than TempleOS?
Yes. Yes it is.

@mcc And getting worse, with better alternatives available…

@mcc can't be. It's installed on nearly every computer so it must be good. Why would anyone use anything but the very best program.
@oblomov @mcc Yes, but as you well know, MS Apps and Google apps and Meta Apps also already there along with Windows OS when you buy a PC (or Android phone or Tablet for that matter, if it's an Apple PC or phone or Tablet then its their stuff instead). Because the company that makes the PC is bribed to put them there. And so people use the OS and there Apps because they know no better.

@skedarwarrior @mcc I wished I tried years ago.
I knew about it, but always feared I'd brick my PC -

@mcc I was wondering when someone else would notice that Microsoft sucks.

@honor2025 @mcc 5% on what? like linux users make up 5% of something now?
either way i’d believe it, windows is seriously unusable now, especially if you actively do not want to use ai.

@mcc all things are possible, I suppose, in an infinite universe. 3.11 might have been OK, and there were rumours of POSIX compliance in one of the early NT based versions, though which one escapes me, just at the moment.
Windows XP was the pinnacle of civilization and I will engage in a light skirmish on this hill.

@mcc
Could well be. I tried to use it for two weeks in '95 and it almost drove me mad. I was convinced we, the free world, would win without a doubt. I'm still a bit puzzled what I missed.Never used any Microsoft shit after that, but in an effort to answer your question more completely, I've often read complaints about the system the past 31 years. So apparently, at least some people have been able to tolerate it for quite some time. Or maybe, most people really like to have something to complain about and don't want to give that up? No idea whatsoever though, why anyone would choose to do that. So also no clue if that could imply there still might anything good in the program.
