People tell me that Microsoft has changed, and I should change with it. Not good for us users and, maybe, not even good for MS itself. But, whatever the reason in each case, there is a pattern here, and it is not a good one. It could be insufficient allocation of resources to take care of Windows, or some psychological disturbance, or perhaps even IQ problems, at the top of the company, or an unnecessarily nasty way to get rid of what management has finally decided are unwanted customers. On the other hand, when it comes to trying to deal with a new big problem, or to start doing some big new thing, such as the already mentioned patching in March to vaccinate the OS against the Intel’s Spectre/Meltdown problem, or first introducing and now”upgrading” (“ascending”?) Win 10 as Service into the Cloud, or dealing with this Pentium III situation, MS has been doing, consistently, a really poor job and even a reprehensibly bad one. For example, with the exception of the March Spectre/Meltdown patch apocalypse, I have not had any real problems with my Office 2010 and Win 7, Group B security and E11 updates, for quite a while now. I have noticed that MS is still doing OK in routine matters, at least those that I expect them to take care regularly for me.
