Microsoft accidentally swapped Windows 11’s startup sound with Vista’s

  I read through these and it’s 80% AI crap that no one asked for. New features? Recall and copilot trash. Bugs? Problems with Recall and copilot. I’m so glad I switched to Linux some months ago. If Microsoft doesn’t see reason soon, they might just kill windows.

    With their philosophy on privacy, I hope they do. The more people use Linux instead of Windows, the more developers will clean bugs up.

    they might just kill windows. One might start thinking it’s intentional indeed. I imagine Azure is their new cash cow, and perhaps MS is pivoting.

      It’s not. It’s silicone valley’s insane strategy to hype tech to juice stock prices then build to meet the hype. Instead of doing the logical thing - build useful features and let them become popular to bring the hype. These companies are way more focused on wall street hype than their actual customers reactions to their products.

    Wouldn’t know. Left Windows behind and now it’s someone else’s problem.

    The won’t kill Windows until there is some alternative for consuments and no, Linux ain’t it…mostly because there is still a big faith in common folk that Linux is some arcane tech. Which is pretty much proven in their opion when they try to use it, cause they try to use it like Windows.

    And no, Lemmings don’t count, most of us have some kind of dev experience, be it professional or hobbyist.

      Your argument is more out of date than Vista. Windows is not the default because people like their software, or would choose it over anything else. It’s because they’ve positioned themselves as the default monopoly since the goddamn 1980s.

      To see what happens when Microsoft has to compete on quality of software, just ask yourself why Copilot and Recall aren’t being rolled out on Windows phones.

      I disagree that Linux isn’t an alternative but even if it wasn’t, MacOS is.

      Seems like Windows doesn’t mind having their userbase reduce another 20% and giving it to their main competitor.

      Maybe then they’ll learn.

  I bet the did it internally for April fools and it's just getting out to the public.

  It’s not a bug, it’s a feature :D Would be nice to be an option

  [ADDED] This week’s flight comes with a delightful blast from the past and will play the Windows Vista boot sound instead of the Windows 11 boot sound. We’re working on a fix.

  I’d say “these jokes write themselves” but, well, Microsoft even took that away… It’s a comedy bluescreen.
