They claim they want it faster and cheaper, they just want it bloated and slower so hardware sales will go up.
Imagine the speed we could have today if we optimized to the 80 and 90s standards when hardware was uber weak.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25898128 Dead on, dead on. MS needs to open up it's operating structure. Also most of the software is just that bloatware. I reinstalled my Windows 7 64bit on my harddrive because MS updates messed up my BIOS (around the same time Windows 8 was being pushed). So I did what a person helping me from dell told me personally that you don't need MS updates for the operating system, it will work fine. I haven't had trouble for at least 7 months and he told me that it's real easy for MS to put stuff in the update to mess up your system and make you get the next version of the software. Turn MS updates off. Also I'm surprised that you are still working as an American (assuming) programmer with so much of that business being offshored. They deliberately do that. Have seen it happening for quite a while now. Even as a fairly competent programmer, I somehow got suckered in at a weak moment to accidentally click the upgrade button and crash my fine tuned and perfectly running desktop using XP. The manufacturers are also in cahoots with expensive parts dying as soon as warranty is over. The documentary "Pyramids of Waste (2010), AKA The Lightbulb Conspiracy - Planned Obsolescence? comes to mind
