spectacular improvements coming to Windows 11!

[gbsills@social.vivaldi.net]

@davidgerard One of the problems with Microsoft is that all of its products are driven by marketing. So even C#, a programming language gets chock full of things that "people are asking for" without any attention to overall design quality. This also means that things are updated just so people can see things changing, whether they like them or not.

@ehproque you have to pick up the mouse and talk into it

@davidgerard

did they remove moving the taskbar???

[lproven@social.vivaldi.net]

@davidgerard The taskbar is one of the big dealbreakers for me.

Strip out all the Metro shite and all MS online tools, and maybe we can talk. Maybe.

[davidgerard@circumstances.run]

@Someplaceunknown i remember moving it in Windows 95 or 98, but evidently they improved Windows since then

[mewsleah@meow.social]

@davidgerard wait, i'm sure i could move the taskbar in Windows 10

[jmax@mastodon.social]

@Rycochet @davidgerard That might actually be an improvement, much as I hate to say it.

@davidgerard @ehproque Has anyone named a UI paradigm "Transparent Aluminum" ?

"Thank you for holding us to a high standard."

LOL

Imagine a multi-billion dollar company considering "updates that do not destroy my SSD or ruin the login screen" to be a high standard.

@davidgerard Finally catching up to where they were in (checks notes) 1995!

@davidgerard @Someplaceunknown
Better rename their OS to Widows, 'cause it only serves to drain every man and dyke of their will to live.
