didn't they "take ownership" by issuing a "known issues" post? there were still issues with 7, people just seem to forget...The flaw in that argument is PCs haven't become exponentially more complicated since the Windows 7 era - there were "literally millions of different configs" in the Windows 7 era too. A 9900k + Z390 + 2080Ti + NVMe drive runs just fine on Windows 7 with some tweaking to get around MS's artificial blocks.
And yet with Win7, real software engineers and a real QA division somehow managed to not crap all over their customers by properly testing everything, with service packs and delta-updating instead of full-reinstalls masquerading as a "feature update" deleting user data and upending the entire fucking OS.
MS just needs to take ownership of it, there's really no excusing it. Going forward, only consistency over time can rebuild user trust.
