Didnt they actually switch to "This PC" like a decade ago?
Yeah, I think it was changed in Win 10 (or maybe 8/8.1?)
Well, they started with enshitification a few years after getting the MS Basic contract with IBM... So yeah, the switch to "This PC" was about 3 decades too late.
They started with the enshittification of the thing, before the thing was a thing.
I feel like I remember a transition step. Like it was just Computer or something for one version.
Shhh.
Let the tech illiterate Linux bros have their circle jerk.
I'm not a Linux user but even I think "tech illiterate Linux bro" is a silly thing to say.
Though I will say the My Computer to This PC switch was probably more due to the "everyone has multiple devices now" dynamic than the "you will own nothing" dynamic.
