lmao. microflop is outdated, dusty and crusty.

Doubt

… 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.

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

Great, so windows 9 is going to come out?

Are they though?

Already switched to Linux… super happy with it.

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.

Too late, for me at least

Too little, too fucking late!

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.

Yah, that’s bullshit. They hate their users and want them dead but buying things somehow.

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

Make it less shit dumbass

Fuck 'em
