That’s the issue... what ELSE do you want an OS to do for you?
Microsoft hasn’t had a new innovative idea for at least a decade (some would say “ever”). Now they face serious competition for their office suite, server suite, and O/S markets from “free” alternatives. So, if you’re gonna change, why spend serious money for something that you don’t really like, and causes your computer to run slower?
