I remember the times when Microsoft had a lot of problems 20 years ago because of Sasser and other viruses that were taking over Windows. They did not have any contenders. Yet they have stopped any software development for 9 months just to re-work their entire codebase to prevent things like direct memory execution and stuff like that. The result of that was Windows XP Service Pack 2. After that thing windows XP became a legend.

Now, when Linux is slowly creeping on one side, and Mac NEO on another they keep releasing this AI-slop.

By the looks of it they make most of their money from the cloud and other software things nowadays. And Windows has become a sidekick in their processes.
