Windows Is Falling Apart, And Microsoft Is Panicking (www.youtube.com)

Windows hit its lowest market share in decades, Microsoft lost $400 billion in a week, and now their own president is admitting they need to fix the OS. SteamOS and Linux aren't waiting around.

You simply cannot vibe code a good operating system.

Hell, they weren't doing too well before that, either. The whole creepy "we know better" vibe was pretty noticeable before the advent of LLMs too - although of course it's made it a ton worse. But they were always inept and douchy to boot.

As the joke goes, "Do you think Microsoft understands consent? Yes / Maybe yes later"

(Personally I think 11 is way worse than Vista - in isolation, relative to the previous one, morally, somehow UX wise, pretty much any metric you want.)

Vista and 8.1 were my favorite Windows versions since XP.

I have to agree. Vista was a dud, but there were a number of legitimate improvements made over Windows XP. Windows 11 is just a worse Windows 10. Other than maybe tabs in the Explorer, I can't think of anything they've improved and a whole lot they made worse.

Exactly. Vista was rushed and buggy but that's, y'know, par for the course really. I think there was a time in the 00's where they really wanted to be extremely optimistic about Moore's law-style performance gains, and for some reason they thought they could aim ahead of the curve. Cue Vista actually running like dogshit even aside from outright crashes and such.

Vista could easily be made into a normal gray Windows experience
