They are the house of dark patterns.

After a certain point anyone paying attention can see it's not accidental. Oops sorry! No. Their goal is your technological enslavement. Mis-features like that don't accidentally just always end up being evil and oops sorry when there is a real backlash. They wanted to see if they could get away with it, like they do.

I abandoned MS products in 1998 for good. Win98se pushed me over the edge.

Wim98SE was actually good though! Well, it was way way better than win98. Win2k and 7 (the last windows OS I ever had for personal use) were good too. The writing was on the wall back in the 98 days for sure though. MS decided that your computer was theirs.
