Windows is the biggest installed base of anything in computer-land. It did not get that way by jamming things down users throat or by making this more difficult (error prone and bloated). Rather users, individual and businesses, liked what they experienced so the base grew. Bleeep - That all started to change with Win 7. - Ever more and more with each OS: you must take these updates, make an upgrade, you must subscribe, you must use the cloud, you must swallow AI. Here we are: Thing don't work well anymore with each forced inclusion.
All I want to do is browse a little, compose and calculate, and play a few games. I managed technology for small orgs and individuals. Most don't need or want the crapola MS is forcing. And it keeps getting messier because of it. Windows became successful in part because individuals believed it was useful for themselves and cooperated with their companies in incorporating it. Agenics is way beyond what most want or need. I expect the base to shrink even more. That trend is well deserved and is going backward. People don't see a need for the mess of windows at home anymore where a smartphone or tablet will do.
