Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore
MudMan@fedia.io 11 hours agoNobody ever cheered for Windows. I was there at the Windows 95 launch and everybody hated it and its problems were "impossible to ignore" and it was an embarrassing failure in tech circles and the BSOD was a meme.
Remind me again how that went.

it’s funny how big tech basically determines how things are going to go, regardless of what anyone thinks. i remember the “uproar” when whoever tf it was decided to release a phone without a headphone jack. everyone said “i don’t like that” and the response was “yes. you fucking do like that. you like it right up the ass.” and now literally no one complains about the lack of headphone jack on any phone that exists now.
i was also there when win 95 came out, and remember thinking “are people this fucking stupid, that they can’t get along on a computer without some fancy newfangled ‘graphical’ user interface?”
yep.
investigate how many businesses are planning to ditch windows for something else, regardless of how shitty windows is. i would actually be interested in those numbers
