I could get a beefy windows machine for the price of my M2 air. I'm a software dev and I've recently switched from Windows 10 box and Linux laptop.

If you look at the other top stories on Technology, you see:

  • MS mentions pushing AI search to Windows 10
  • MS asks you for reasons to close OneDrive

For last month, MS was pastering me to create a web account to login to my old win10 machine.

And essentially, MS got me soo tired with all this bullshit, that I've switched to Apple. And the only thing that I have to be aware of, is that it often makes sense to wait before upgrading system version.
