Okay, that's easy: remove all the LLM slop. That'll start fixing it. Then get the ads out of the UI. Get rid of the MS account requirement, and make all updates optional. For a stretch goal, go back to making an OS that only does what the user tells it to, and doesn't have any function to phone home without direct user input.

Too funny. They’d need to go back to Win95 for all that.

Think back… XP had many complaints at release too, wasn’t till sp2 or sp3 it was actually decent.

I think W7 would be the very last option, everything after that has been shit, and getting worse. I still prefer XP though, except for the hideous UI.

98SE would mostly work.
