By the time they fix it, it’ll be Windows 12. We see the pattern over and over again, but this time they tried strong arming people onto 11. Those people aren’t going back.

… but it was already too late. They alienated their users completely and Linux is soooo nice.

I guess I have to thank MS for pushing me into using Linux Mint. And I love it.

I prefer to use Linux. Arch Linux.

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

Hey Satya, just give us Win10 back and fuck off, you bald fraud.

Are Microslop going to rebuild trust by being broken up into smaller companies? Doubtful!

And people in hell want ice water.

good luck with that.

That is corporate speak for Microsoft is going to spend millions on a PR campaign.

Hey Microslop use Cortana to replace your shit CEO and the whole C-Suite

Good luck with that - you would need to scrap the entire operating system.

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

It should not be hard to browse local files on a computer. 

Great, so windows 9 is going to come out?

They are failing.

I wonder if we're past the point of no return re: the trust thermocline: https://mastodon.social/@garius/109279394369832433

Already switched to Linux... super happy with it.

... 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.

Too late for me. But thanks for telling me my computer wasn't good enough for Win 11 and forcing me to install Linux. It was a breeze, and computing is fun again.

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. It’s very clear that all the complaining of the world has little chance to ever get Windows to be what people want it to be

Marketing bullshit. Microsoft isn't going to actually reverse any of the enshittification it's inflicted on Windows.

If you don't have any customer mandated software that requires Windows, I'm looking at you AutoDesk, then do yourself a favor and go ahead take the week to install and learn Linux Mint.

Fire your current dipshit in chief, issue abject apologies and realise you peaked with 7.

MS is about to learn how hard it is to build trust in commercial markets, and why it's a terrible decision to set that on fire for a short term profit. Honestly, it's hard to find a better example of a company that had a more comfortable and ideal position in their market, that just decided to disrupt itself without any pressure or prompting. You wanna gamble, you gotta be ready to lose.

They'll never read nor act on this feedback, but here's my list:

• drop the AI
• drop the ads
• stop pushing services, namely cloud
• stop requiring Microsoft accounts

Honestly win10 was great when it dropped. Not sure why we needed 11.

Doubt

Too little, too fucking late!

I have a strong feeling they won't be removing the spying, AI everywhere, ads, and bloatware. Microsoft views those as positives.
