"We set out to solve one of the most common frustrations we hear — finding and changing settings on your PC — using the power of AI agents," Navjot Virk, corporate vice president of Windows Experiences at Microsoft, said in a blog post on Tuesday. "An agent uses on-device AI to understand your intent and with your permission, automate and execute tasks."

Thanks Microsoft for admitting that Wimdows sucks. You didn't even try really.

Organise Settings better, put common features front and centre?

Why is finding my IP address so hard on a Windows machine? Its either open settings app and click down 3 layers deep or open a pwsh prompt and either ipconfig or Get-NetIPAddress.

Linux click network applet in most desktop environments. Even MacOS option + click network icon

Blackmagic please, for the benefit of all editors, make DaVinci Resolve work properly on Linux. I'd switch tomorrow.

What's wrong with it? Works fine for me. Ubuntu 24.04

Windows XP's UI philosophy was great: one could always find what they needed within a two-clicks distance. Everything just went downhill after that. If they ever fix Windows, it will probably look a lot like XP again.

When I was a child I actually learnt quite a bit about my computer by reading all the settings of Windows XP and customizing them.

I hope this doesn’t prevent someone from the next generation to do the same thing…

It will. It's already happening with phones. Younger people know nothing about how computers work.

Hey Windows, set my taskbar to run vertically along the left side of my screen. 🖕
