I get that legacy support sucks and nobody wants to do it, but the new product is just an ad serving platform under the guise of being an OS. Maybe try to release a good Windows platform before asking people zo switch to that, just a thought I had.
To Microsoft, being an automatic ad platform is WHY they consider it better than 10. They have zero incentive to release an OS that doesn't ad spam or datamine you.
Can you really say 10 is better than 7, though? 7 maybe better than vista, And 10 better than 8, But I maintain that it's a downward slope and that the versions keep getting worse overall
