Nope. I work for Microsoft and I can assure you that any effort I make to increase code quality or reduce jank (or anything other than shoving more AI in there) will not affect my bonus.
Comment on Microsoft begins cracking down on people dodging Windows 11's system requirements
darkevilmac@lemmy.zip 2 months agoYeah as much as this sucks I honestly hope that Microsoft will actually take advantage of this and start moving legacy support into more specialized options.
A lot of the reason windows is so janky at times is because of the insane obsession they have with backwards compatibility.

What if you found another window to put ads in?

Are you working on Windows or another product? Also do you know why MS expects ROI for new Windows features ie. Amazon Appstore? Since Windows is a paid product (at least for OEMs) I would expect license income to sustain feature development.

Lol, worst take I have ever heard.
Windows has no purpose these days outside backwards compatibility.
Windows primarily sucks because of ads and forced updates, not jank.
Microsoft exclusively deals in antiquated spaghetti code, removing backwards compatibility won’t change that.
Microsoft has no interest in improving users experience they have invested entirely in squeezing in micro transactions not exactly a user first design philosophy.
