For the first time, so am I. I resent the myriad of intrusions that have been built into Windoze. I resent their arbitrary changes in the construction of basic controls (Settings vs. Control Panel). Their invasive “phone home” telemetry has me constantly irritated.
More and more I find myself in the position of working to defeat the operating system instead of enhancing it.
But Linux isn’t any better. Each time Mint or Ubuntu comes out with a newer flavor I dutifully download it to one of my test machines and try them out. They still haven’t figured out how to create a network disk share that can be accessed by a Windows computer. Without that basic functionality the OS is useless to me (since I run several computers on a network).
Why is it that computers were more productive and more fun back in the Windows 98 days?!

Definitely more productive on Windows 98 and XP. More fun with Clippy and the little dog, too.
