Why Windows sucks and how to fix it, according to a former Microsoft engineer

Former Microsoft programmer Dave Plummer, who helped develop Windows Task Manager, criticizes Windows for becoming a marketing tool that prioritizes selling Microsoft services over user experience. He argues Windows forces Microsoft accounts, collects excessive telemetry without transparency, and bombards users with ads and suggestions that disrespect their choices. Plummer proposes solutions including a "Professional" mode for power users and a privacy ledger showing what data Microsoft collects and why.
