I think it says a lot more about how much recent versions of Windows have bogged down the whole gaming experience.
Microsoft seems to have forgotten that people want an operating system that works, not something bloated with bullshit like telemetry, advertisements, tracking cookies and artificial intelligence. The only reason they even have a market lead in the desktop space is due to marketing and monopolistic practices.
I wonder how Windows would perform against Linux with all bloatware removed and telemetry disabled.
would there even be an OS left?
That's not an OS, that's three spywares in a trenchcoat!
Isn't that just spyware with extra steps?
I don't see a problem with anonymozed telemetry. I see a problem with it when it's used for other things than making your own software better directly though.
At this point Windows should be free of charge.
Oh, they know what people want in an OS, the thing is that they don't care. People who know better can complain all they want, normies and most corpos will get windows anyway
