I'm I the only person who wants the Windows OS to do less, not more? I strongly prefer a non-intrusive OS that isn't constantly calling attention to itself with needless bullshit and distractions. MS has forgotten (or wants to ignore) the fundamental role of the OS, which is a platform for the apps we actually want to interact with to run on.

Of course this phenomenon isn't only limited to MS Windows. Far too much software these days thinks it constantly needs to grab your attention. I'm sick of the whole "all push notifications all the time" mindset of designers.

To revise my complaining a bit, the return to one "big update" per year could be a good thing....hopefully.
