Microslop is going to spend 2026 improving Windows 11. It comes after Windows update quality issues and complaints about the operating system.
I wonder if we’re past the point of no return re: the trust thermocline: https://mastodon.social/@garius/109279394369832433
lmao. microflop is outdated, dusty and crusty.
Fire your current dipshit in chief, issue abject apologies and realise you peaked with 7.
Doubt
… 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.
Good luck with that - you would need to scrap the entire operating system.
And a lot of leadership and investors
There was a theory that Microsoft could just release a Linux distro with a first party windows skin on it
Great, so windows 9 is going to come out?
I would genuinely laugh so fucking hard
Windows 8 .1 was effectively Windows 9.
Already switched to Linux… super happy with it.
Are they though?
If they would produce a super stable, backward compatible system without “AI”, without tons of dark patterns and with a traditional UI… let’s say, a Windows 7 reboot with compatibility to modern software and released under a Free license… then I would honestly take a look.
“super stable, backward compatible system without “AI”” Sounds like Linux 😁
I wouldn’t. Why would I bother at this point. Their commitment is to making money, not customers.
Too little, too fucking late!
Too late, for me at least
Too late for me. But thanks for telling me my computer wasn’t good enough for Win 11 and forcing me to install Linux. It was a breeze, and computing is fun again.
It should not be hard to browse local files on a computer.
Why are you using local files when you have a cloud???!

Thanks. I think I just puked in my mouth.
“Everything will be a service. You will own nothing. You will accept this reality”
You will not just accept, you will embrace. You will feel cold and empty when you taste freedom, for you will not understand it or know what to do with it.
I mean, kind of. Not owning anything or being able to do what I want with our PCs will really free up a lot of time for other hobbies such as hunting billionaires for sport.
Make it less shit dumbass
