Microslop is going to spend 2026 improving Windows 11. It comes after Windows update quality issues and complaints about the operating system.

    By the time they fix it, it’ll be Windows 12. We see the pattern over and over again, but this time they tried strong arming people onto 11. Those people aren’t going back.

      They were so successful in pushing, I installed Linux Mint on my 3 PCs, laptop, wife’s laptop and friends laptops. Not a single complaint so far (it’s been about a year).

        I use both Windows and Ubuntu/Mint for personal use, WSL for personal dev environment (because MS SQL Server on Docker limits what I do), Ubuntu/Redhat for dev/test/prod environments.

        I like Linux but it can be a hassle with little things so Windows.

      Nah, windows 10 was still sluggish spyware/adware.

      I would only ever consider switching back to windows if they updated windows 7 with the latest kernel/security updates.

      No apps, ads, ai, or shitty UI frameworks.

      A functioning offline-only search, a cohesive/responsive UI, and control over if/when updates get installed.

    Microsoft is working to rebuild trust in their turd prison

    Ooohh wow, they are? I’m so happy about that, I can’t wait to get my hands on their turd and be told what to do and be limited to only their wishes and pay them through the nose!

    I mean who wouldn’t want to work with a vibe coded piece of shit that can only run on the most expensive hardware? Who wouldn’t trust a company who left security holes open for half a year causing the US government to be hacked by China, just because they didn’t wanted to look bad nad potentially lose money?

    The company that constantly non stop has done everything to get themselves more money, at the cost of software quality l, consumer sanity and everything good since it’s founding some 5 decades ago is now telling me they really do care about me? The company that wants to add advertising into fucking basic software like operating systems juuuuust to squeeze some more money out of decades old products, that wants to monitor your every move so they can use and sell your data, wants … Me? They real care about me, the end user?

    Go get pounded by a bag of umbrella dicks you motherfuckers

    … genuinely, how can they possibly expect to regain or have any trust after turning W11 into a constant wiretap via Copilot, that spams ads all up in your OS in every place, and then also just handing over the bitlocker master keys to the FBI?

    You would have to be very uninformed or delusional at this point to think that Windows and privacy/security exist in the same universe.

    The only thing they have going for them is inertia.

    And they’re now hitting the point where backlash against them is snowballing much faster than they could possibly reverse course on their own internal inertia and actually make any real changes.

    And yes that applies to their consumer facing shit as well as B2B.

    Fire your current dipshit in chief, issue abject apologies and realise you peaked with 7.
