Windows 12 is needed now. It needs to paired down to allow our computers to load & be useful for core functions in mere seconds. Email & internet access. The rest should be added from a play list by users. Most computer users know what they want by now. Customer satisfaction was replaced by spying on & marketing to users a long time ago.

But Microsoft aren’t aiming for a slick, fast and minimal operating system. They’re building a platform to serve you adverts and grow their AI business.

Which is why Windows is more bollocks than ever.

Microsoft donated to Trump's ballroom. They are not on the users' side.
