MS have always been a little shitty and I don’t want to sound “high horse”-y since everything is flawed in one way or another, but basically:
the creep of advertising into the OS (despite charging for a license for Windows)
the substantial telemetry/metric and analytic collection of the user activity
the installation of so much unwanted garbage (e.g. candy crush, tik tok, etc)
the use of its user base as “beta testers” by pushing half-baked features
the removal of features
I understand that they’re running a business and that they can’t support old OS’ forever and can’t appease every user, but the above was more than enough for me to jump ship.
What kind of business practices?
For one, there’s everything they did to CentOS after they bought it.
