It delays the problem for six more years, and it also gives me the satisfaction of ~~pirating~~ testing the only decent version of Windows free of Microslop bloat and vibe coded react.

the only decent version of Windows

Please stop romanticising Win 10 just because it's less shitty than 11. There is no decent Windows.

Reminder: Win 10 introduced

  • mandatory telemetry (you can only choose between some telemetry and firehose telemetry)
  • a built-in keylooger
  • built-in advertising
  • agressive nag screens containing dark patterns trying to trick users into "upgrading"
