great, can't wait for the new wave of vibe coded native apps
also isn't WinUI a failure, just like the five other previous efforts of MSFT to move away from Win32 API?

Sounds like they're going to have yet another WPF UI framework to go with the dozen or so other ones they've not officially abandoned but have starved of resources for decades.

Yes. You have to remember: they skipped Windows 9. So it goes:
2000 was shit - XP was good - Vista was shit - 7 was good - 8 was shit - 10 was good (okay; okay; it was *passable* alright?) - 11 is shit - moving into 12, will be good/passable again.

It's the traditional tick-tock, the proverbial ping-pong, still continuing. Ever on.

Microsoft is incapable of “changing course” because that implies they were going in the right direction to begin with. Bill Gates made his fortune by fucking over his partners, his investors and his customers, in that order. The official policy of Microsoft has always been two simple words; fuck you.

> I want to be able to install my own shell

Fuck you

> I want to decide when my system updates

Fuck you

> I want to know what this company does with my data

Fuck you

> I want to be able to install my own operating system on the computer I bought

Fuck you

Etc etc

File explorer and the start menu were wrappers?
What?
>>
>>108495627
8 was good, other than the stupid start menu bullshit, which was easily bypassed in 60 seconds by installing a start menu replacement like Classicshell.

10 is the first window release where there was only one QA person for every dave versus 2 QA people. Update quality fell off a cliff and home users (to a lesser extent, non-enterprise pro users) were left as the QA testers.

11 had all the ills of 10 but worse because of AI code slop and horrible (e.g. using react in the start menu)

Microsoft is famous for its internal wars. One that started two decades ago was Native vs Web. In 2006, WPF was released and was the dotnet answer to Win32's UI classes. At the time dotnet was very hot and this was seen as the path forward for software development. At the same time, one of the VPs thought the web was going to take over everything so he started pushing for using html, css, and js everywhere. That started the Native vs Web Holy War that has raged inside the company for decades.
The thing is that there was a third faction in all of this: the Win32 C++ loyalists. They hated dotnet and had been fighting against it. People in that camp refused to use dotnet for anything and aligned with the web folks against dotnet. The result was a bit of a stalemate in that dotnet is still very deeply entrenched but lost the UI battle, which was won by the web people. The Win32 C++ loyalists were the biggest losers in all of this. While they were fighting against dotnet, the web folks simply walked through C++ territory and took everything they could without much resistance.
Microsoft is now learning very painfully that web has some very hard limits, especially when it comes to performance. In the past they could somewhat cheat by invoking a low level layer but since much of the Win32 C++ territory has been destroyed and its practitioners pushed out, finding those old performant resources has become difficult to impossible for the web heads.
Moving back to "native" is just stepping back to the dotnet UI paradigm that got pushed off to the side in the war with web. It's much better at connecting with the core Win32 stuff that still exists while also being far more performant itself than web tech.
>Active Desktop
Mentioning because some boomer always brings it up, but that was a late 90s thing where a web panel was bolted over the Windows desktop. It has no real connection to the Web Holy War that started a decade later.

They have enough money and talent to keep rewriting the apps with "native technology" every few years. They probably should just to give people something to do and make sure they don't get too bloated. Plus, rewriting stuff is always fun.

They pushed out most of the real talent over a decade ago. The few who have remained are those who didn't get enough stock options to retire early. Even then, they're lost in the increasingly large pool of poos.
Making everything based on web tech was a big mistake but it wasn't the only one. Switch to native isn't going to help if it's all poos writing the code.

Windows 2000 was a NT-based version of Windows, if you had ever used it you would know how good it was. It bears little relation to Windows Millenium. I had to use XP for some reason, probably gaming related and I coped and seethed the entire way. It wasn't until 7 I was happy with Windows again.
