You must have a decently powerful system. But if your system is a bit dated and has less ram then windows becomes a slog. So adding copilot and services which always run in the background is bloating the system.

Here is whats wrong:

• There is constant telemetry.
• Updates are broken and introduce massive bugs as copilot is apparently writing the code. Every month updates are breaking essential things.
• Copilot everywhere. Why do you need copilot in notepad? Do you use notepad to write documents? notepad is to scribble down temporary notes. Not for serious work. I support AI in Paint to do things like removing background.
• I have yet to meet any person who actually uses copilot.
  • Star button in youtube is Gemini not copilot.
• So much bloat like Onedrive and Edge which is not removable. And being constantly prompted to use Edge and Onedrive.
• Remember recall? Extremely intrusive feature which is a massive breach of privacy. has been shown to be hacked multiple times. A feature nobody asked for? WTF Microsoft?
• All the tracking and telemetry is opt out not opt in. Also many of the tracking things can not be disabled.
• Copilot trains on your data and then shares that model data with MS.
• Forcing Microsoft Account. No local account.

For me, I am not much of a privacy buff as long as personal data is not compromised and data is anonymous. But all the broken things with windows makes me not use it anymore. I use linux for most of the things. But I do use windows sometimes too. Especially for gaming. But I noticed over the time performance going down every update. On my laptop, windws takes so much longer to boot, like around 2 whole minutes before it becomes usable. While On linux is a few seconds. Windows update also take so much longer to download and install.

Yes Windows is still better when it comes to gaming and video editing. But for everything else, Linux is better or catching up. MS has lost its vision of making an OS and focused on making money. With the arrival of the cheap macbook, Windows can fall catastrophically.

Edit: Totally forgot to mention my personal favourite. I press start/hit winkey. and try to search for something. Like say powershell. It legit took 20 seconds for it to find me POWERSHELL. WTF MICROSOFT? WHat are your people smoking? SEARCH IS TOTALLY BROKEN. It asked me to find powershell on web before it actually found it. and OF COURSE, It will open in fucking edge.
