    It’s hardly a big deal, none of what Microsoft has done is really that annoying. Individually they are barely even noteworthy.

    Switching to Linux is a huge pain in the ass to have to go through so Microsoft would have to do something seriously messed up for me to even want to put up with it. I’m not assuming that I could find equivalent programs that even ran on Linux.

      That’s exactly the kind of shit abused people say to justify staying with their abusive partner. (“Oh it’s not so bad” - she says with a black eye - “and he’s really sweet normally”)

      Yes in the short term it can be painful to leave an abusive person you’ve come to depend upon, but in the long term it’s always the better solution.

      Switching to Linux is a huge pain in the ass.

      This is literally how MacOS and long time Linux users feel when switching to Windows.
