Can they win you back? What will it take?

>>108771109if everyone above junior dev commits seppuku there i'd consider it
>>108771109Remove ads from Microsoft Solitaire Collection
>>108771109Total jeet death
>>108771109>be annoyed with microslop>try out linux>it’s actually breddy gud so I just stick with itThe only way I’m coming back is if linux pisses me off enough, which seems unlikely. I have no idea how it would be possible for an OS to be so good that people switch to it despite not being consistently annoyed by what they currently use.
>>108771109>Can they win you back? What will it take?CEO is pajeet.Entire OS is jeeted now.It will only get worse, not better.
>>108771141I use both, but fonts never look as nice in linux (any DE) as they do in Windows.
I went to some kind of microsoft github bullshit meetup in melbourne last night and the MC was a fat slob who looked like richard stallmanthey advertised "get excited for SWAG and door prizes".The swag was the door prize. It was a single star wars sticker this lardarse had picked up at a furry convention. He gave it to one lucky winner then said "there was a whole table of them I don't know why I only took one" just to rub in the insult.The talk put me to sleep. The presenter of the talk was using Microsoft Edge.Then after the talk the lardarse came back to the podium and said "the pizzas didn't turn up so that's the end of the night." Yeah right you probably ate them all.
>>108771109>Can they win you back?No, I've already gotten comfy in macOS and accustomed to the modifier key layout, window button locations, etc., at this point even if they made a perfect re-release of 7 I wouldn't go back.
>>108771161>the pizzas didn't turn upWould have been pretty devastating news at a GNOME meetup.
>>108771109going non profit, firing all close, and going open source, deleting all bloat. and make it all free also security for old versions
they never lost me
>>108771109Flush the poo. All of it.
>>108771181He was like "nothing we can do about that" and he looked like he'd gained 20 kilograms as he gave his greasy star wars sticker to the lucky indian winner who didn't even get his trivia question right.
>>108771160yeah, why is this. That's the reason I switched back to windows. The janky ass font was too much
>>108771263it's personal pref, i rather like loonix font rendering. some people use shit like mactype to get similar effects on windowsif you want real eye pain try using macOS on a low DPI screen
>>108771109>back
>>108771109>What will it take?they should gather all the current and past leads and ceos, including bill, close the place and livestream their suicide by fire. then I'd consider using their gigatrash software
>>108771109Letting me have a ride on that jeet chick they put in charge of Xbox.
>>108771109No because it would take them abandoning everything they've been building up for the past 10+ years.And I doubt a money hungry Jeet at the helm with a hard-on for data centers and AI slop would chart such a course.
>>108771109Publically announcing that they are gutted all their ai bloatware from the system, all surveillance is opt-in and win12 will have win7 responsiveness, settings and designPretty much no, they can't. Big corporations concerned not about user but about stakeholders
>>108771109Absolutely nothing that they would ever realistically do. The windows codebase is ruined beyond repair. The only solution is to throw away pretty much all the code written in the last 15+ years.
Remove jeets, revive [spoiler]8.1[/spoiler]
1. Don't do things unprompted. You are a computer. I call the shots.2. don't install/uninstall programs or drivers without consent. If you must, do so on the very first boot/install only.3. Respect the settings in the registry and don't randomly reset them to default.4. Do something about the dogshit ugly UI and blurry ass fonts. Allow resizing the fonts. The settings and control panel suck absolute dick. I haven't used Win11 for a while but I saw a tiktok when searching for "Terminal" it brings up the movie "Terminal" instead of the program. The hell? If I wanted to browse the internet and find information about movies, I would do so using a web browser.5. Why the fuck is there a context menu on top of a context menu? ("More options") Remove that shit. I bet Copilot came up with this.6. Speaking of Copilot, allow the disabling of it.7. Allow the making of a local account without needing a Microsoft account.(continues in the next post)
8. Right now, when Windows is booted, it makes 16 connections to the internet. What the fuck? Allow the disabling of that shit and don't turn it back on after it has been disabled.9. Restore Notepad to how it was. What the fuck are you doing? It's a text editor. You removed Wordpad and now you are turning Notepad into Wordpad. What the fuck? And what the FUCK is Copilot doing in Notepad?10. If i make a program and it does some calculations in the background, it gets throttled unless I use some obscure ass API to disable said throttling. Remove this garbage feature altogether. This is completely unnecessary. Did Copilot come up with this too? I am both a gamer and a programmer. As a gamer, the "increase-priority-of-foreground-programs" feature is utter dogshit and completely unnecessary. It does not increase performance of games, but does hinder any other use of the system. If I really really wanted to increase the priority, I would do it myself or use a third party program that actually manages things correctly.11. Speaking of third party programs. Windows XP was like your "LTSC" shit currently is. This means that the system is frozen, and only receives security updates. Everything was tested in factory, instead of invasive telemetry garbage. This ecosystem worked and people made actual programs for your OS.12. Speaking of performance... yeah. See number 5 about the context menus. I think the whole Windows 11 OS is built so that it takes the existing working system and adds javascript webshit on top of that. WTF are you doing? This is unreal and surreal.13. Your operating system FUCKING SUCKS. FUCK YOU. What are you doing? This is unreal. I have never seen an OS this shit in my life. It's so shit, that it's impressive how shit it is. How did you actually manage that?
>>108771109Give me a remote job where I make everything worse.
>>108771109>The term notepad shell execute exploit typically refers to a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in the modern Windows Notepad application, tracked as CVE-2026-20841. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands by abusing Notepad's recently added Markdown rendering features and URI handlersdon't worry guys, its fixed already
>>108771109If you worked as hard on excellence as you do slop, people would line up out the door for your product. You are 15 years behind at this point.
>>108771636The notion that motherfucking Notepad has an RCE is peak clown world timeline
>>108771109Let it die already.
>>108771648i don't think it was a mistake, they add exploits on purpose, just a scammy nature
>>108771538>>108771548In your effort posts, you've put more thought into correcting problems with Windows than Satya has. In his words: "I think on the commercial side, I think it’s well understood is that Windows is the socket for Microsoft 365"
>>108771109Make it Free Software, release it under GPLv3.
>>108771263Some points here. https://pandasauce.org/post/linux-fonts/It's actually refreshing to read real blog posts, rather than the AI slop you see nowadays.
Never ever and Im glad that that the Evropean Digital Sovereignty meme is getting more and more exposureFrance, Germany, Denmark … everyone is moving away from Microslop
>>108771870The EU stores all their data about their citizen on Microsoft Azure servers.The EU made your dependence on Microslop even worse. Doesn't matter whether or not you use Microsoft Office or Russian Only Office.If you are a citizen in the EU, every data about you is controlled by Microsoft.Not even the US government is as much dependent on MS as the EU is.
>>108771109It would take a lot.It would not only take Windows fixing its BS, but every other alternative being worse.
>>108771109Fire all the indians. Same with Android.
>>108771109>backI never had a choice before, it was either microsoft windows on a pc ibm compatible, waste money on a proper ibm with os/2 wrap (that was windows mongoloid brother) or blow load money on a mac or amiga. The more things standardized on x86 arch the more you had to deal with microshit, there never was a choice to begin with save, once, with beos (which was promptly killed by ms). Now that i have, sort of, options i wouldn't ever go back to that cage unless forced to by external factors.
>>108771109release an actual bug free version of Windows thats finished, fast, and hassle free.but thats never happening in a million fucking attempts
>>108771109>Can they win you back?no, they lost me 9 years ago, fuck them. the only microsoft "product" I still use is typescript.
>>108771109putting satya (and all other indian management/employees) to a firing squad
>>108771138Only correct answer
>>108771109Windows going full open-source would certainly elicit a look, every now and then.
>>108771109Yeah keep working on 7 and make it open source.
>>108771109Fire ALL jeets, no exceptions.
>>108771785>2018>>108771268same here, slight hinting + NO BLURRY COLORED SUBPIXEL SHIT is king for mein winblows, you either get blurry colored subpixel shit or pixelated shit, it's literally unreadable for methe article mentions win7 font rendering... I fucking hated that shit and stuck with XP purely because of that for as long as I could
>>108771109they burned too many bridges for me, I haven't used winblows for over a decade.
>>108771109No. Nothing they do would bring me back.
>>108771648That was when I stopped defending them, even just to be provocative. Right now I’m just using the OS as a launcher for old video games that are probably never going to work well linux.
>>108771109There's literally nothing they can do. Public companies are an enemy of humanity and thus they can't earn my trust.
>>108771109>What will it take?The Jeet being [redacted] in Times Square.Then promising all AI sloppa is gone by firing all Jeets.Then promising ReSpyware will NEVER happen again by firing all white middle management.Then Microslop [redacted] itself.
>>108771263>>108771160>caring about fonts>in generaliToddlers.
>>108771181Use case for energy?
>>108771538>6. Speaking of Copilot, allow the disabling of it.>7. Allow the making of a local account without needing a Microsoft account.They're doing these in their BABY PLEASE COME BACK! I'VE CHANGED! emails to "Insiders"/beta testers.
>>108771109Bring back Windows 7.
>>108771160Debian 7 wheezy to this day has had the best font rendering I've ever seen on a computer. Not sure what they did but holy shit I have never seen anything comparable since. I remember back in that day switching to windows 7 and realizing how fucking blurry it was. They must have just cranked off all anti-aliasing it was beautiful and to this day I've never seen anything close to it. Might boot up a VM of it and try to replicate the settings.
>>108771109never left to begin with, linux desktop is godawful, ain't touching that shit at home, i'm already spending all my time at work on it
>>108771109Make it Open Source.That's the minimum requirement.
>>108771109at this point it's over whatever good products they had are undergoing total enshittification by jeets amplified by AI
>>108771109Literally all they have to do is rip out all the telemetry spyware and make 100% of their preloaded software opt-in instead of forcing it on me.But they will never do that.
>>108771109Stick a fork in dem fuck dey done.
>>108775687>then they re-enable the requirements 6 months later>as always
>>108771109Well, first of all, get rid of every single brown person. And every single DEI hire.Then, release a new Windows that is a glorious-level masterpiece of tech OS. Perfect in every regard.And finally, fix their whole software stack to make it really usable. Be privacy/performance focused and really embrace open standards. Make it so fucking NASA doesn't have to call for help because their astronauts are having trouble with outlook.Only then I will consider using them again, along side Linux of course.
>>108771109Fire every jeet including their CEO/President, end xbox's suffering and kill it, say they are ashamed of being Microsoft and then make windows free to use and open source. Then i might think about it. They can live with just azure to stay alive i guess.
>>108771109Turn every Indian in the company into soap on livestream
>>108776676>end xbox's suffering and kill itHe just installed a new jeeta to run that, so no chance there. I will say that she’s good looking for an Indian, so Satya is probably nailing her on the side.
>>108775664It’s not about fonts, but font rendering. The problem in linux is that not all apps respect the system settings, so you get inconsistent behaviour even amongst modern programs.
>>108778335Troonix is garbage.
>>108771123Doesn't that just leave the jeet vibe coders?
>>108771109>Can they win you back? What will it take?Honestly, not really and I think I'd rather get a MacBook. Unless Windows / Game industry will push some nasty Windows only DRM, but even then, I'd probably dual boot.>My Job doesn't depend on my home PC>All my SP / Cracked Games are working>All my Emulators are working>All my MP Games are working (recent addition Deadlock)>I feel more private / secure>Waydroid is perfect>MESA is really great on Linux>ROCm is MUCH better on LinuxMAYBE, if GTA 6 releases, I'll dual boot. But hopefully Valve and R* will figure something out for the Steam Machine.
>>108771109Windows Phone. Kill OneDrive. Replace DirectX with Vulkan, or at least allow vendor extensions in DirectX. Kill OneDrive. An incremental backup to online storage. Kill OneDrive. Make people want accounts, don't force it. Kill OneDrive. Start work on a new C API with proper sandboxing support to replace win32/winui. Kill OneDrive. Have an optional hardware certification system similar to Chromebooks to replace the surface line. Kill OneDrive.Just make me CEO so I can kill OneDrive.
>>108771109Starting back at 3.1- Not FUCKING KIDDING. It just works.
>>108778511> VulkanVulkan is garbage. Create a new graphics api which is not retarded.
