Too bad its generic I guess. The cynic in me says that's why it doesn't get the interest it deserves

Printer drivers rarely if ever come in MSI format. They most commonly use self extracting exe archive.

Are you arguing non technical people should have root access to company owned and managed PCs? Because I can tell you from experience, that will result in a very bad time at some point. Even if it is just for the single end user and not the wider org.

I was lucky to get in early and buy a lifetime perpetual account, otherwise I probably wouldn't still use it.

Getting a 5090 for $5090 would be an absolute steal where I live

You can disassemble and replace mouse switches quite easily and very cheaply if you already own a soldering iron and some basic tools - mouse switch failure is the typical reason for misclick double click problem

Its not even that. They say its more complicated but it's basically the exact same thing. Registry entry's are arguably the windows equivalent of a Mac os plist.
