We have more local computing power than ever, but getting more and more chained to online services. Ah, the irony
the better to farm your information to advertise too you and try to tie you in to more subscriptions.
Back in my day you could turn on the computer and operate it without anyone knowing. Our "internet connection" was demonic screeching from hell on the telephone and you didn't need it to play solitaire.
Microsoft world have done it back then if internet was more prevalent and computers were just a little faster.
Linux exists. Made for you, not money. For Microsoft user experience is just a side effect in getting profit. It can well be replaced with marketing, as Microsoft has demonstrated.
Anyone who wants to switch to Linux we welcome you with open arms. Ask as many questions as you need. There are no stupid questions just bad answers. (You probably know the type)
If you can't switch, that's ok. Alot of us know what it's like, especially us gamers, Nvidia card owners, and recovering adobe-holics. Life is tougher but a whole lot more rewarding. I moved from windows/Macos and I wouldn't give it up for anything.
People will switch once developers do. So far no luck on the music industry
Honest question: What does Microsoft expect people with no Internet access to do?
