    Incompetance doesn’t build and maintain the world’s leading Operating System… But I believe it has more to do with the privacy scare with Windows 10’s launch, during the Alexa/Cortana/Siri always-on-mic stuff.

      Maybe incompetence was too strong a word, but interacting with many MS services feels so disjoint and siloed, I just don’t see them building and leveraging user profiles as extensively as Google does.

        Now that is a true statement. Google loves their “everything in one bucket” style of computing. MS is service-based. They have a framework (rn that’s Azure, but Windows is also a framework) and bells and whistles get added as needed.
