And to Microsoft's credit, they actually manage to do that pretty well while maintaining a reasonably stable OS. Most of the time, anyway. The increasing interest in using Windows as a conduit for ads and data collection is what they really chafes me and is the primary reason I'm slowly moving away from Windows. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago And here I am with older games crashing all the time on newer windows. permalink fedilink source parent [–] reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago Exactly that. 7 was fine.
