I like how they're charging more for making their products worse. I have to use Windows for work, and the laptop runs like dogshit. Nearly everything is laggy, Teams is a dumpster fire, etc.
I recently came across a windows 7 machine that someone wanted updated. First thing I did was clone it to an SSD.
Wow I forgot how fast windows 7 boots with one. That was even still on the old hardware.
In the end it was only one piece of software that you could get online, so we went with the fresh install.
Eat a dick, Microsoft.

Is it based on them being greedy or feeling like they would need some real money soon? Both? Both.
feeling like they would need some real money soon
