Microsoft's Self-Sabotage

BTW: A special thanks to Ms.Mary Nathan



Its been more than I while since I ever took time for my own sometimes abandoned blog.
I recently made a clean install of Microsoft last (till now) Operative System (OS) Windows 10.

And I've realized that some stuff was missing, but that normal on Ms. updates, there's something that will be missing or sometimes changed.

Like always since Windows 8 ( from XP to 7 I didn't saw those things), Microsoft start adding new applications that that they want to you to use, even with the old ones still working nice.


In Win8, Microsoft added those new Apps that I liked ( Music, Photos, etc, etc.). The problem wasn't the apps, but Ms. trying to make them default. Its completely normal to add new stuff and if its better... Well make them default ( its not 100% certain, but you can do that as the creator).

Now, why add new stuff that works that same was as the old?
Why add new stuff that work the same way as the old and let the old stuff there?
And why add new stuff when the older is better or can be better with plugins or other stuff ?

Those 3 questions are the main reason why some new apps from Microsoft never get that desired attention, at least from the old school Windows users.

I always used Windows Media Player as my default audio/video player. WMP doesn't reproduce every kind of music or video, well... Not at the beginning of things, but if you find the right Codec every thing changes.

More then the half of the old school Windows users change their default programs, sometimes is not because they suck, but because they rather use the old ones, and ... Cheez, the old ones still there.

They removed Windows Media Center (Win XP,Vista, 7), Windows 7 games, etc, etc. Many people didn't like it, but we live with that (well... Some of us lol), but What's done its done. So I call that as Microsoft Self-Sabotage, they make new stuff worst or just in the same level as the old, sometimes they just change the appearance




There's a ton of topics all over the internet, forums that talk about Windows 8 and 10 and changing x program and put y as default and stuff.
