It's been a gradual process and I do say that it started with Windows XP. People look at Windows XP with loads of nostalgia, but they conveniently forget how aggravatingly annoying it was with how often it kept prompting you about what you're about to run. Like with the greyed out screens, asking whether you're administrator and all that. It started with Windows XP.
And it has gotten worse since to where now this system you've paid $900 for that happen to have Windows pre-installed or maybe you bought that separately for another $200, so this $1,100 system you have. You can't control it all.
