    Windows Phone as a product wasn’t that bad. Even it had some good features which were way ahead of its time. They took some bad decisions and pulled the plug too early.

    They’re pretty good at monopolizing markets and releasing rehashed garbage once they’ve done so.

    I had a Microsoft Tivo competitor that worked with DirecTV in the early 2000s that I really liked. Visual Studio and VS Code aren’t bad for what they are. The Zune was pretty awesome. I have had some good times on all generations of XBOX.

    I guess what I am saying is that despite my hatred for MS, they haven’t been completely awful. Definitely not in the Comcast and various phone companies (I would like to single out Verizon for being particularly scummy) tier of hatred.

    Imma disagree since they’re part of that top 3 shuffle for most valuable companies on the planet BUT I still don’t like them lol I did try the windows phone though when those were a thing. It was solid but lacked app support so I caved before the 30 day period and returned it.

    I very reluctantly put a new mac mini on order last Sunday. I didn’t feel great about it but I was feeling done with Windows for a bit at least for home use.

      Careful, Lemmy seems to think you won’t be able to use the power button on that new Mac Mini.
