I'm also a windows user, along with user of other OS.

What's surreal to me is the Windows Installation process, the concept of an installation process that allows any app to have complete unsandboxed access to the files of other applications. In the year 2026

At first the idea of dragging a file seemed unnecessary, I would have thought it's better for the installer to do that automatically, but now I understand that the user is in control, and the best installation mechanism is not the one with less clicks, users are expected to grant permissions to applications they control, and in this case they are showing the user where those files are, and that the installation is nothing more than moving a folder around.
