New Windows 11 release comes with a new Windows 11 bug: middle click on explorer icon on taskbar doesn’t open a new window anymore.
This taskbar shit seems so hard to do for microsoft, they took 3 years to fix the combined icons bug
same for “reopen explorer windows at login” which was broken for more than one year
If all their 100k devs are unable to fix it, why don’t they open source it and rely on some amateur hobbyist to fix it for free in their spare time?

If they’ll open-source their code why would you need to pay Microsoft money? Obviously you’re unable to switch to Linux (because you would have switched a decade ago) so you need Windows and, as long as the code is closed, you need Microsoft.

Okay, smarty pants, how does Linux—which is open source—make its money?

Most distros are run by foundations which make a considerable amount of their money from Microsoft, grants, and donations

It mostly doesn’t. Just some donations to keep it afloat.

Why should an OS kernel make money?
