I’ve been using Microsoft products since the early days of DOS, and the only product that truly impressed me was NT; it was a breath of fresh air as a developer, with its new kernel and much improved stability. Finally, we could develop for windows and not have the OS crash!
Everything else has driven me nuts, and their quality had definitely gone drastically down hill. Their software now is a bloated mess of ugly, especially windows. How did we get to an OS that installs so many gigs of files? Holy crap!
I try to always use Firefox and never use Edge.
Windows XP 64 bit edition was Microsofts peak, everything has been downhill from there. Microsoft Research (a child company of Microsoft proper) does some really cool stuff. Everything interesting/good to come out of MS in the last couple decades started there, and then the main Microsoft company got ahold of it and inevitably cocked it up.
For a brief period of time I was hopeful that MS had turned over a new leaf when they started to opensource their dev software like VS Code and typescript, but that’s always been a bait and switch. They’re handing carrots out to developers while simultaneously beating their normal customers with sticks.
i never believed their heart open source phase, and i still think they are trying to figure out how to eee stuff like linux
Linux is soooo much nicer on the daily.
Are you me? Get out of my brain!
NT changed everything.
Windows 10 is labelled NT10 internally
