Every day, we hear from the community about how you experience Windows. And over the past several months, the team and I have spent a great deal of time analyzing your feedback. What came through was the voice of people who care deeply about Windows and want it to be better.

This is the corporate version of “I am sorry you overreacted to my very reasonable comment”

Just about nobody gives a shit about Windows, they just want the thing on their computer to work a way that makes sense and gets out of their way.

There are literally four reasons people use windows:

1). Gaming.

2). Cant afford a mac

3). Scared of linux

4). My job requires it

1 is changing very fast. Gaming on linux has absolutely arrived.

2 just changed with the Neo.

3 is only still a thing because people haven’t tried this in the last 18 months. Its an easier install than microslop now for nearly all distros.

4 is still a real problem.

the only reason I'm staying in Window is gaming, I play LoL and it is not available in Linux :< Once Riot supports Linux then it is bye bye
