I think this is a good spot for this rant I&#x27;ve had brewing awhile...<p>&lt;rant&gt;<p>I get so tired of Microsoft&#x27;s continual half assing of literally everything, but especially when it comes to things like this, where they&#x27;re trying to move forward across multiple avenues to keep everyone happy. They do this constantly, it compromises their software quality, compromises driver stacks, because they are simultaneously trying to have new features AND legacy support, and they do this for EVERYTHING.<p>Apple does things all the time that I don&#x27;t like (especially as an iOS developer) but my experience has taught me that though whatever they&#x27;ve done may suck in the short term, that there&#x27;s a larger plan at work and it will probably benefit me in the long run. I have NO such trust in Microsoft, because every time they have a moment where they need to say &quot;hey, this is fucked, we need to move on to something better&quot; it&#x27;s ALWAYS followed by &quot;but don&#x27;t worry we&#x27;ll still be supporting all the old garbage to the detriment of our OS as a whole.&quot;<p>I have little love for Windows 10, I don&#x27;t like the phoning home every ten minutes, I think the UI is ugly as sin, etc. but that is the future and I accept that. At some point I will need to make that leap in all likelihood, and this continued &quot;well you really should upgrade but it&#x27;s ok if you don&#x27;t want to&quot; crap just makes me terrified as to what kind of pandora&#x27;s box is awaiting me when I decide to make said leap. Exactly how much stuff is going to be broken because they had to make DOS applications from 95 work on their NEW operating system?<p>Microsoft: Shit or leave the toilet. If you&#x27;re going to bank hard on Windows 10 then make sure it&#x27;s something WORTH BANKING ON.<p>&lt;&#x2F;rant&gt;
