It only makes money for Microsoft IF it caters to the customers. For
example, if desktop Linux catered to them better - given how it is free - MS
would fizzle out quickly (or have to improve what they offer).

Apple, in many ways, DOES cater to customers better BUT they do so at a
higher cost (Apple does not serve the low end). So while Apple caters very
well to many people there are many who will end up with Windows or Android
(and of course there are times those are just better fits anyway).

No, it does not. And your claiming this shows MASSIVE ignorance about it.

What? Why re-install what you already installed?

And with the rebooting you are confusing system updates, which DO what you
say too often, with app updates which rarely require a reboot.

Maybe you can explain some of the weaknesses you think it has.

Or not. :)

I agree the Registry is a poor design, but when was the last time you saw
corruption? Been years for me.

How does it suffer from this any more than Linux?

And, then, you must think the same of Android, right?

What backdoors?

And here you just spew your anger. Yes, you are very angry at the choices
you have made. OK.
