it's funny because from Apple side, the OS is not that rosy either, it's buggier it has ever been.

(that's an overstatement, early OS X were buggy too, but they just switched to Unix after OS9, so, understandable.)

it's just better than Windows, which is just aggressively bad. (and I guess Linux is eating their gamers market with Proton? but I am not a gamer)

Can't help but feel like Microsoft is getting pressured by the laptop OEMs to make Windows not suck, because of the MacBook Neo is going to eat all their lunches.

		It's death by a thousand cuts for Windows. - The OS is getting buggier, with every large update getting press coverage on scary bugs. - The OS is getting overbearing; constant nagging for upsells on Microsoft products with terrible attach rates. - The OS is getting focused on hype; the latest trend is AI?Let's force a new button on people that will break decades-old workflows. Let's put AI everywhere. - The OS is getting slow; there's no focus on speed and the place where 85% of the market resides (laptops) is getting completely trounced by Apple Silicon. - The OS is getting squeezed; under 300$ it's all terrible e-waste in six months Chromebooks. Over 500$ Apple is aggressively entering the market with the Neo. Over 1,000$ Apple has owned a commanding share of the profits there for decades. There are 994 more problems with Windows but I've made my point; there's just no end in sight to the problems with Windows. I haven't mentioned it's become a minor part of Microsoft's profits!
