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.

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 “you have multiple devices” dynamic than the “you will own nothing” dynamic.
