"Commitment to Windows quality" is an intersting phrase. We all know what "windows quality" is, so they just state they are committed to make things worse.

I love how the first thing they brag about is that you can put the status bar on any edge of the screen -- a feature that Microsoft previously took away.

With KDE, I can put multiple status bars on every side of the screen

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago

It can literally be "oops! All status bars!" if you really, really want.

A feature that isn't really that new to begin with, since Win95.

Be thankful, peasant, or we will remove it again.

anyway, this is basically a bug fix update log that this dork turned into a blog post so he can pretend that he has a useful position

Funny how every Windows release claims to be faster, yet some YouTube video proved they're getting slower.

Haven't people been complaining for years? I wonder why they all of a sudden notice.

This was probably pre written by their Microslop Copilot before the latest snafu's happened. What a joke.

I think the best part of this is that there's no apology or even the slightest acknowledgment of what a shitshow Windows has become. Just "listening to feedback" and "improving the experience".

Nadella can't leave soon enough. Probably the worst CEO MS has ever had
