It should be "Microsoft keeps adding crap into Windows that no one would ever want."

If Microsoft wanted to fix Windows it would be an easy task. Step 1: Delete everything added since Windows 7. Step 2: Delete all dotnet crap. Step 3: Make the APIs good by deleting almost everything and making new plain C89 APIs. Step 4: Realize we need a new operating system and delete all of Windows and start over.

This also means it ignores my preference to not download new updates when available.
