5. Remove WebView apps. Eat our own dogfood and use MAUI.
6. Go back to the classic Start Menu. Use API to make the whole UI available for customizations
7. Get rid of the whole shitty “Settings” menu and go back to the Control Panel.
8. Drop backwards compatibility for a bunch of crap. Stop pulling the 1980s forward, let that shit die.
9. Address real modern issues with compatibility and performance with current CPUs
10. Undo all the vibe coding.
11. Focus on stability and performance, not trying to be “An experience”. Windows runs apps, make it do that the best it can.
12. For the love of everything holy, take a risk and modernize the OS. This goes back to 8. But as someone who makes Windows Server golden images for multiple platforms, FUCKING CHRIST.
