I mean seriously, what good does microsoft actually do?
There is exactly one thing i found a pleasant surprise when i had to use microsoft windows: Trying to paste something and accidentally finding an easily manageable clipboard history turned on by default. I mean until today a big part of my day on other systems is undo/redo hoping not to accidentally pressing another key to screw up the history when going back to the future (not sure why i can't just use some clipboard manager, maybe the risk my workflow introduces gives me the thrill i need)... ehh back to topic: other than that, i have never seen anything from Microsoft where i don't think it's trash.
Even WSL which i thought was a good solution for people forced to work with MS crap by their companies, they somehow managed to make it worse with every unnecessary change. I only had to use a windows PC for a couple of months in the last 10-15 years, but it showed me: nothing missed. Still the same. MS is somehow still evil & bad software. No matter how much the leadership changes. It seems to be in their DNA.
