Well, the whole reason people have to “adopt and learn” is because M$ bought their way onto virtually every new PC sold back in the 90s, so people’s first experience would be their “operating system.”
Talk about leveraging anchoring bias.
I’d argue you’d have a hard time selling Windows to people if you were honest about it.
For just 145€ you get:
an operating system that assumes you’re an inept idiot
ads in your application launcher
a screenshot taken every minute, which gets stored outside your control and analysed by “AI”
an invasive “assistant” that listens in on your microphone at all times
forced to create an account to log in to “your” machine, so we can collect even more personal data
Especially when the alternative is free and let’s you do whatever you want with your hardware. And if you happen to misconfigure something you get to be an adult about it and learn from your mistakes.
oh im not disagreeing with that. windows is not easy to learn (as i said in my comment response to my comment above) after u stop being used to it. i doubt its easier if u are new to it either. they definitely just bought their way into making it the status quo. like how chrome did with browsing the web. or google with gmail. or google with etc etc.
what i am saying is that ignoring the “adopt and learn” part isnt benefiting anyone
