After the recent update in which Windows asked me once again to "upgrade" to 11 and I refused, they did something horrible to their Photos program. Something is different about it every time I open it, and it's worse every time ( Read more... )

I should've known. Microsoft is trying to entice me to get Clipchamp, saying it's free, but then it turns out there's a crap free edition and then a paid edition? Though I'm getting some conflicting reviews about how decent the free version is ( Read more... )
