The title is misleading. It should be "Microsoft keeps adding crap into Windows that no one would ever want."

If Microsoft wanted to fix Windows it would be an easy task. Step 1: Delete everything added since Windows 7. Step 2: Delete all dotnet crap. Step 3: Make the APIs good by deleting almost everything and making new plain C89 APIs. Step 4: Realize we need a new operating system and delete all of Windows and start over.

Leave dotnet alone, it has nothing to do with this.

And you can't complain about the API. It's so good and established that games can now just use the Windows API to run on Linux.

This destructive attitude will just turn people off your cause.
