Lol sure thing Microslop.

Hurt at the implication that Linux is not quality
OS age verification says no, sorry
The fact that a multi-billion dollar company publishes a post like this shows how bad things have gotten.
It’s afraid!
They had 6 years to fix the taskbar and now they’re listening?
And they want to make the AI more meaningful but no mention of letting people turn it off.
I guess they’re worried. I already left.
That’s unfair. We have been listening to you all this time. And sometimes watching. And once we’re done with recall, also recording so we can watch and listen again or train our AI to watch you instead. Because honestly who wants to watch people work. That’s gross.

This should go in @programmer-humor or something.
The month of March ended sooner than expected this year…
Repositioning the taskbar is one of the top asks we’ve heard from you. We are introducing the ability to reposition it to the top or sides of…
Not introducing, RE - introducing, just like how you could before. Alllllll the way back to Windows95, UNTIL YOU MESSED WITH IT.
Basically the whole post is “blah blah blah we screwed around with things so much blah blah blah we messed up file explorer blah blah blah we’re working at putting some minor things back and walking back forced updates a little and cramming AI into everything because that’s what we really want to do.”
People talk about Windows v Linux being like “you get what you pay for” but any distro or package that fucked around this much would be dropped so fucking fast.
I can’t believe millions of people just put up with their software getting consistently worse.
No mention of removing the spying or ads either.
This entire list felt like shit that should have never made it past QA in the first place. And absolutely should not have made it past the Insider program and into the general population.
At least on my work computer I will have slightly less BS to deal with. Came much too late for any machine I control. 100% Mint now.
As a former windows insider it’s too little too late. Already switched to Linux.
More taskbar customization, including vertical and top positions:
Removed for no reason when win 11 launched, Fixed by using windows 10
Integrating AI where it’s most meaningful, with craft and focus:
Noone wants your shitty AI. Fixed by using windows 10
Reducing disruption from Windows Updates
Windows update has always been fucking horrible, but I kinda have a running gag. Fixed by using windows 10
Faster and more dependable File Explorer
Performance worse under win 11, Fixed by using windows 10
More control over widgets and feed experiences
Feature noone wants, fixed by using windows 10
A simpler, more transparent Windows Insider Program
It would be much better if win 11 updates didn’t need to constantly be rolled back because they break fundamental features due to lack of testing. Why even have a beta branch? Fixed by using windows 10
Improved Feedback Hub, available starting today
The continued push toward deeper AI integration shows that feedback does not matter to Microsoft. Fixed by using windows 10?
Or just use any Linux distro, since none of them have these problems.
Windows update has always been fucking horrible, but I kinda have a running gag. Fixed by using windows 10
I mean, Win10 is EOL now, so it’s not going to be getting very many updates anymore
LTSC is not.

Thanks, microslop, nobody cares
Reminds me of all those “tech magazine” articles years ago saying “akshually Edge is a really good browser” after the entire Windows user base only used it to download some other browser instead.
It was a decent browser. And an independent engine, which everyone here seems rabid for
Now it’s just another Chromium.
Trident was such a cooler name than WebKit, too. A rare instance of Microsoft giving something a name that was neither confusing nor lame.
I mean, those ActiveX controls were a little… well… Trident was a cool name!
There is never anything fundamentally bad about more choices, but that doesn’t mean that some of the choices are not fundamentally bad.
