Comment on Modern Windows in a nutshell

I recently installed Windows 10 after a few years of Linuxing and holy shit, the updater is just bad. I had more fun running Gentoo updates back in early 2000’s. How is Windows updater so slow? How is it so bad at informing the user what’s going on? How is it that every open source package manager I’ve used handles update infinitely better? Microsoft has a lot engineers, what are they doing with their time? Why is it so bad? Like, just, why?

Using a modern package manager in Linux after being used to windows for a decade or two was absolutely stunning.
But it was not unique. I see that kind of difference all over the OS as well as in FOSS vs commercial apps.
The difference in design motivations and important stakeholders is pretty obvious!

Windows is horrible at informing in general. The event viewer is a terrible mess to get through, too. I wish I could get paid as much as Microsoft to deliver products as bad as Microsoft.
