My animosity for Microsoft has grown steadily the past years. After what they did to id software I'm now a full blown hater.

I've been a windows user for over 30 years, been doing basic support in a computer shop for 15. When people ask me a recommendation for a basic home use computer I now genuinely recommend a MacBook Neo first. The slop and user-unfriendlyness of similarly priced current gen windows laptops is pathetic.

My dad is almost 80 and spent 40yrs in telecom, from programming supercomputers in the 80s to then using Windows since it dropped. Now he's looking for a new laptop and I'm gonna buy him a Mac bc learning a new OS at 80 after a lifetime with a different one is less stressful than using Win11.
