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)
The problem is upper management. Without touching that there is no hope for improvement.
I prefer to use Linux. Arch Linux.
You dropped this:
Btw
No one is impressed by arch users.
it’s a joke dum dum
Already switched to Linux… super happy with it.
I personally just want a glorified calculator (that works on text too) I can trust in doing what I tell it to do. And not some “experience” that does all kinds of unspecified things in the background. But that’s just me.
Wait, so you’re telling me Dell that you don’t want their new AI laptop? But it’s how those ahead get, uh, behind, or whatever the buzz phrase is now.
The phrase used to be like “move fast and crash” or something similar.
I guess I have to thank MS for pushing me into using Linux Mint. And I love it.
They were so successful in pushing, I installed Linux Mint on my 3 PCs, laptop, wife’s laptop and friends laptops. Not a single complaint so far (it’s been about a year).
Are they, tho?

Microsoft is working to rebuild trust in their turd prison
Ooohh wow, they are? I’m so happy about that, I can’t wait to get my hands on their turd and be told what to do and be limited to only their wishes and pay them through the nose!
I mean who wouldn’t want to work with a vibe coded piece of shit that can only run on the most expensive hardware? Who wouldn’t trust a company who left security holes open for half a year causing the US government to be hacked by China, just because they didn’t wanted to look bad nad potentially lose money?
The company that constantly non stop has done everything to get themselves more money, at the cost of software quality l, consumer sanity and everything good since it’s founding some 5 decades ago is now telling me they really do care about me? The company that wants to add advertising into fucking basic software like operating systems juuuuust to squeeze some more money out of decades old products, that wants to monitor your every move so they can use and sell your data, wants … Me? They real care about me, the end user?
Go get pounded by a bag of umbrella dicks you motherfuckers
Great, so windows 9 is going to come out?
I would genuinely laugh so fucking hard
Windows 8 .1 was effectively Windows 9.
good luck with that.
Yah, that’s bullshit. They hate their users and want them dead but buying things somehow.
Are Microslop going to rebuild trust by being broken up into smaller companies? Doubtful!
Hey Microslop use Cortana to replace your shit CEO and the whole C-Suite
Could’ve fooled me…
I wonder if we’re past the point of no return re: the trust thermocline: mastodon.social/@garius/109279394369832433
… genuinely, how can they possibly expect to regain or have any trust after turning W11 into a constant wiretap via Copilot, that spams ads all up in your OS in every place, and then also just handing over the bitlocker master keys to the FBI?
You would have to be very uninformed or delusional at this point to think that Windows and privacy/security exist in the same universe.
The only thing they have going for them is inertia.
And they’re now hitting the point where backlash against them is snowballing much faster than they could possibly reverse course on their own internal inertia and actually make any real changes.
And yes that applies to their consumer facing shit as well as B2B.
Don’t forget competition, Linux has been gaining market share year over year
Too little, too fucking late!
Ha. I thought this was from The Onion the first time I scrolled past it. What a hilarious joke. I hope it back fires so people and countries continue moving away from Windows.
countries continue moving away from Windows
you have to admit a huge percentage of people are just dumb enough to actually believe they need the thing they’re being told they need, by the people who are selling them the thing.
but when a company spends decades doing shit that literally everyone hates, changing shit that no one asked to be changed, ignoring the changes people want, and now force-feeding this copilot bullshit that doesn’t even work, which, again, NO ONE asked for-- fuck microsoft, and fuck their windows spyware
one quiet “merp merp” from a three-foot tuxedo in the back of an otherwise completely silent and unimpressed audience
Make it less shit dumbass
Fuck 'em
The biggest problem is that even if they fix it, it will take ages for the people that left to believe it is actually fixed. We can’t take MS’s word for it… And even then we will have no trust they won’t just slip right back into this hellscape a couple years (or months) down the line.
Doubt
Are they though?
Looking back, these will be the times that trump destroyed america and microsoft destroyed itself. Maybe america destroyed itself and trump was nothing more than the guy who squeezed the pimple.

Lol. Buhbyeeeeee
Hilarious
My 4 part plan to put Microsoft back on track.
1: Re-open support for Windows 10 until at least 2 years after the release date of the next version of Windows.
2: Commit to making the next version of Windows less intrusive, cleaner, more reliable, and a small as technically possible.
3: Fully fund the open source projects that Microsoft relies on for their products.
4: Make Co-pilot an optional toolkit that runs on the background, with tight, easily configured controls and hook-ins to other applications and data.
Please put me in charge of Microsoft. I’ll do it for a measly 10 million dollars a year. You’ll save so much on my salary, your practically can’t afford not to hire me.
Win10 is dead. There no going back.
There’s no next version. It’s all iterative.
I agree that they should lean into open source though.

Let me guess: instead of improving their products, they’re going to get the US security industrial complex to silence the critics.
