I'm gonna be honest, I don't remember the last time I had a problem with windows. I had some issues getting a media server set up that ended up being the router my ISP gave me, I had an issue with the 11 "upgrade" that ended up being a BIOS setting. But the last time I had an issue that was actually Windows related was on a previous computer, and my desktop is damn near geriatric.

Fair enough, although I don't really remember having an issue with linux either, atleast for the last couple of years. Apart from getting my nvidia gpu to work properly on my laptop, but that's jank on windows aswell. Not everyone has issues on either, but I use windows at work and fedora at home and I notice way more jank on windows personally

Good stuff. As much as I hate Microsoft and everything they do, if you're enjoying a stable system, and don't mind the injected Spyware and ramsonware that comes with windows by default, enjoy.

Not everyone has to like Linux.

What ransomware?

Leave your data synchronizing with their cloud, pass the limit, miss 1 payment and see how that goes for you when you try to get your data. Good luck.

I have tried twice getting a notice of failed payment due to change of banks and therefore change of credit card. But then I gave it the new card's details and everything was good. However, I don't remember if I was passed some doomsday deadline or not.

Not saying it's not an issue and I would consider it bad business for Microsoft to delete users data without proper notifications and a long enough time frame to fix any payment issues. However, deleting data online is not ransomware - if Microsoft deletes the data, then they have nothing to hold ransom.

I may be extra paranoid, but I'm almost certain that, even if they delete it from your folders (I don't think they do, at least not Right away), they still keep it for maintaining a profile of each person. As for the ransomware, yeah, if you don't pay them, you're likely to lose access. That's the definition of ransom, no?

If you pay them to store your files and you then stop paying - should they then provide the service for free?

At the very least they should allow you to get them all back, I'm not talking about allowing to store more.

I agree that there should be a grace period after payments are stopped before they delete stuff. But I see no reason that they should provide you with free access to their service - if you haven’t paid, service is cut off.

But that is just my opinion.

I had windows issues this morning, trying to set the aeay message expiry in teams. When I click the date ... no problem, when I click time there is a long scroll list of times, when I go to move mouse over a time it closes the time picker window because it thinks I have moused off of it. I tried various mouse methods and acrolling. Had to resort to keyboard only to move and select.
