Yeah, no Microsoft store, no onedrive to uninstall. No messenger, candy crush, tiktok on the start up menu after a fresh install. No copilot paint. No copilot notes. No xbox copilot app.
Its a boring OS which is what most critics wanted.
If Win were released this way normally, there wouldn’t be as many haters.
It used to be until Win8.x. Win7 was the last release where the only bloat you had to deal with was third-party bloat on a shitty OEM prebuilt you got at your local big-box store. A clean install from a vanilla MS install media was just that; a clean install. -sigh- You know Windows is toast when you’re nostalgic for the days where the extent of your bloatware woes were Norton or McAfee, or whatever OEM bloat came on your system that a clean install with a vanilla media would easily get rid of.
I use LTSC IoT for my consulting laptop. If Win were released this way normally, there wouldn’t be as many haters.
I still prefer my Årch box, this version of Windows is totally acceptable to me.
