The Decline of Windows and the Fight Against Enshittification

This Reddit discussion features a frustrated open letter and subsequent community debate regarding the perceived decline of the Windows operating system. Users express significant grievances over forced cloud integration, such as mandatory Microsoft accounts and internet connections during setup, alongside the proliferation of intrusive advertisements and bloatware. The conversation highlights a growing resentment toward dark patterns and artificial intelligence features like Copilot being prioritized over system stability and user privacy. While some participants defend Microsoft’s push for modernization and security, many others discuss alternative platforms like Linux or macOS as a means of escaping this "enshittification." Ultimately, the source illustrates a widening gap between corporate objectives and the desires of long-term desktop enthusiasts.
