Microsoft Ruined Windows (www.youtube.com)

Microsoft is ruining Windows. It just keeps getting worse. Whether it be their insistence on AI and cloud garbage, or just a general sense of incompetence, I can’t help but feel like the operating system has seen better days.

Normally I wouldn’t care too much, big tech ruins another thing, whatever.

But the problem is Microsoft has such a dominant market share that you can’t really escape them.

I guess unless you use a Mac or something I don’t know.

My problem is SolidWorks, SpaceClaim, etc. They do not run from my testing in Linux...Later I'll try getting them going in a VM. I just worry about the performance hit.

Windows runs faster on a VM under linux than on bare metal

Can you detail your VM setup? I’ve tried Windows 10 on several occasions using Qemu and VirtualBox and the UI lag has been complete ass, even after installing the driver packages for each VM host.

@AnomalousBit @metaStatic I'm not trolling, but is virtualization enabled in bios?
