Electron apps are ruining the Windows 11 experience, and even the JavaScript creator has warned against ‘rushed web UX over native,’ but it doesn’t look like that will change Microsoft’s plans. In a post on X and other places, Microsoft reaffirmed its commitment to AI in Windows 11 and encouraged Electron developers to consider using AI in their apps.

It was also a mess as there was a lot of confusion around "64-bit" and "32-bit" systems that even most retailers weren't sure how to describe. Dude it was entertaining talking to best buy his who weren't even sure how to explain it all and the compatibility issues.

I didn't like Vista myself, but 8 seemed to be modernized enough and get away from Aero icons and glassy things.
