On: Microsoft doesn't understand the dislike for Windows' new direction

Dirty upsells for recurring revenue.

Apple pushes iCloud REALLY HARD. I'm on the free plan but I paid when on holiday and now I get heavy dark patterns from Apple (phone UI, emails, yadda).

Android too? Persistently asking "Photos backup is turned off! Turn it on?" to use up storage to justify a subscription fee?

Too often you can feel a UI push towards some revenue stream - frustrating UX!

We need to call Windows 11 (the MS ecosystem), all these "free" systems, "Nagware" like in the old days.
