Wow. Cool. Really cool. It isn't easy to unintentionally break something that worked for 40 years.

[–] Brokkr@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, but they implemented a moveable task bar, which has been available in every other operating system and most DEs for probably 20 - 30 years, so you know... progress kinda.

The moveable task bar was available in any other Microsoft operating system since windows 95.

It's chilling that at launch, Windows ME had a better taskbar than Windows 11 and it took 5 years to get to feature parity

Almost like its made for deeply unserious people who take themselves seriously.

That source code is probably such a shitshow

I was under the impression that with 10 they spent a lot of time cleaning up from previous versions and that the new problems are from lack of QC.

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

They rewrote taskbar.

At this point it might be quicker to make a list of updates that don't break some essential functionality.

KB5120998 is a preview/beta update. Don't become a beta tester for free. Just don't turn on this option to not become one.

Did they fire all senior developers and give access to ~~interns~~ AI Prompt Researchers to push updates?

[–] Stiggyman@ani.social 6 points 2 days ago

They fired QA more or less back in windows 10 days so..

That's that Copilot code...
