Oh I think Microsoft got the memo:

This is Microsoft’s plan to fix Windows 11 https://www.theverge.com/news/897834/microsoft-windows-11-qu...

Funny how their plan to improve Windows 11 is basically to make it more like Windows 10.

Apparently they already brought back "never combine taskbar buttons" which is why I left W11 in the first place, but seems like they have a long way to go.

I really can't believe they thought W11 was a good idea. And putting copilot in notepad... Come on now.

Yep, they could literally have done nothing with their Windows 10 codebase and it would fulfil most if not all of their targets.

They SAY they got the memo. Colour me very skeptical, but we'll see.

I mean, a lot of the issues that they says they'll fix can be patched with third party tools. They won't get rid of ads or tracking, or anything significant. affect their bottom line.

As someone who has never owned a mac, the only reason I would buy a pc at this point in time is to install linux on it.

I liked Ars Technica’s snarky take:

If you were eating in a restaurant and the head chef came out from the back multiple times to loudly proclaim that the kitchen was deeply committed to the quality of the food, would you find that reassuring? Or would you start wondering why the chef felt the need to keep saying it?
