Microsoft is working to rebuild trust in Windows
Microsoft is going to spend 2026 improving Windows 11. It comes after Windows update quality issues and complaints about the operating system.
(just use *NIX)
I bet more AI and ads will make people trust it even more
Too late
“improve user experience and stability”
Microslop has been a rotten cesspool since it’s birth. 50 years of consistently fucking over it’s customers, then promising to change followed by more screwing so please forgive me when I say to this Don’t… Talk … Shit …
Too late
If they would produce a super stable, backward compatible system without “AI”, without tons of dark patterns and with a traditional UI… let’s say, a Windows 7 reboot with compatibility to modern software and released under a Free license… then I would honestly take a look.
I wouldn’t. Why would I bother at this point. Their commitment is to making money, not customers.
“super stable, backward compatible system without “AI”” Sounds like Linuxlinux 😁
“Improving”, the agentic OS thing? Or did they step back from that?
Way too late, at least for me.
I’ve switched over to CachyOS on three devices. My main laptop, a spare laptop(for the wife to try), and a gaming PC. All three are great and easy to use. No stupid pop ups, no AI, and I don’t have to worry about it not booting up compared to Windows(which this was the opposite 10 years ago!).
At this point even if they make a great OS and call it Windows 12 I have zero faith that they won’t reverse and make Windows 13 terrible.
At least with Linux I have a dozen or so options to choose from and they all work just fine. So if CachyOS becomes terrible(doubt) then I’ll switch to something else.
At this point Windows needs to go above and beyond and be stable for YEARS and multiple versions before I switch back, which big doubt.
By releasing windows 12?
Probably. just remember windows 10 is the last OS you will ever need. MS assured us :D
It sure was the last Windows I ever needed. Privately at least.
I know right? I thought it was going to be like OSX.
“That was a typo, we meant it’s gonna be the last Windows you’ll ever want, not need” -Microsoft probably.
That is corporate speak for Microsoft is going to spend millions on a PR campaign.
Same song and dance since at least Windows me. Overtime it keeps getting more bloated and focused on advertising. If you got to use Windows at work, it is what it is but at home, get over it and switch to Linux already
I haven’t had any trust since in Windows since about mid Windows 7 and that was probably unfounded.
By putting out shitty updates that break basic, critical thing? Like email and chat?
why even bother, windows isnt even 10% of their income. Just milk that cow and try to not let everyone know that azure is all running linux.
They shouldn’t have done their update today then. My fonts look like ass.
I hate Windows, always did, always will. My final trial with that garbage system was last April when I installed Fedora on a bootable thumb drive. I might be one of the few people left who couldn’t care less what microsoft does. Here’s hoping they only make decisions that make people trust them less.
They are failing.
lmao. microflop is outdated, dusty and crusty.
Too late, for me at least
Trash
Bs. This is a marketing campaign at best.
Good luck.
It’s definitely fucking not doing that. It may say that it’s going to work hard on it’s problems but like any ‘too big to fail’ monopolistic piece of shit company, they’re going to continue doing whatever the fuck they want and ignoring their end users.
😂 could have fooled me!
