They've copied and ripped off stuff over the many years but mostly were 
"subtle" about it. When Billy and Ballmer were at the helm, the big thing was
at least the OS had some level of quality to it... even Vista got relatively 
quick patches and service packs to fix how broken it was.

With Windows 10 and Server 2016 onward, everything is just a mishmash of 
things that look like it hasn't been tested all the way through, and updates 
are *constant* it seems. They keep saying Windows is a service but its not, 
its an OS. Updates once or twice a year would be okay, not every month or 
every week or whatever.
