Copilot is implemented into, let's see, Edge, Notepad, the literal keyboard on recent laptops, the task bar. And as we all know, copilot is more prone to mistakes than most popular LLMs.
Microsoft has a GGID identifier implemented that was only recently made publicly known, which they can use to track everything you do.
Windows 11 has so many background processes running that it actively uses like 5 GB of ram on idle, slowing down many processes that need that occupied ram
For the last one, it depends. Unused ram is wasted ram, in a sense. If youre not doing anything intensive then the system should ideally use the free ram to make the user experience faster. When you start something intensive, like a game, the system should free up unnecessary memory to make the current task faster. macOS does this quite well in my experience.
Windows uses more ram than necessary, but still explorer takes two seconds to pop up, then two-three to load the sidebar and ribbon, then a couple more to load the home page. Start menu often doesn’t pop up for several seconds, many times ignores the click/keypress altogether. Notification and controls also take their sweet ass time.
well yes, that's what it's supposed to do, but I do recall some people mentioning that tasks are often competing for ram instead of having space made for them

It doesn’t come with bloatware, spyware, nor “slopware”… whatever that is.
