At this point I just want to see how much worse it can get before anyone at MS is ever held responsible for anything.
>>108831399Saaar I think what user want in Operating System is leadership that shows compassion. That shows empathy. We want you to love your socket for MS365 subscription services. Everyone loves subscriptions, because you can plan for them. We are transforming the experience. >>108831384
>>108831384win2k was my first windows, those were good times, counter-strike 1.5, half-life, 9/11
It's almost 30 years anon, most of the devs are long retired.
>>108831399With the recent K2 initiative actually being taken somewhat seriously by MS, they're on the "pull up" stage. It likely won't get all that better, but it won't get worse like everyone's cheering for either.
>>108831456>but it won't get worseYes it will. They’re doing voluntary buyouts and speed rushing jeet hiring.
>>108831456>they're on the "pull up" stagehave they are will they fire all indians?if no they are not in any pull up direction
>>108831503They've placed a white guy that's been in the company since Ballmer at the helm of the native WinUI3 rewrite you've probably heard about so to me it seems like they give at least half a shit this time around, Nadella's nepotism notwithstanding.
>>108831384It is very easy to get Windows XP to look like a 1:1 copy of Windows 2000 if you want to.
>>108831384It wasn't that great, it seemed amazing to people who were used to home versions of windows which crashed routinely and were slow as shit. It's literally the basis for what we use now.
>>108831520>WinUI3 rewriteyou mean this?https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/discussions/11096imho winui performance is not even 1% of what the issue is with windows 11like even right-clicking on a file takes 1-2 seconds, and I refuse to believe that is UI performance issuefile explorer is super duper laggy and stuttery and sluggish, and don't even get me started on tabsTeams is taking up 2GB+ RAM for just chatting with a coworkerExcel takes 5-10 seconds to open a filethis is jeetwarethey have no idea how fast computers today arethey think opening a file taking 5-10 seconds is in acceptable range
>>108831384Yes, once ReactOS becomes usable.
>>108832278how many decades until then?
>>108831384Never
>>108832283Probably one. They're making good progress lately.
>>108831399MS doesn't care. Windows isn't the main moneymaker anymore and PCs are only relevant for games, also loaner work laptops but those are hardly Personal... Normies chose smartphones long ago.Literally everyone who wants to keep using a PC better start learning Linux, because if you don't there will be nothing to run anymore.>>108831606What the actual fuck, is it that bad?
>>108832283>>1088326412 more weeks until they get their head out of their ass and rebase the entire thing on leaked 2k3 code.
>>108831384>>108831456>K2>Windows users are so buck broken that even addressing the issues, not even really fixing them is a godsend
>>108832698more like 5 minutes
why do people just endlessly complain instead of making the change they want to see. Build your own kernel or submit to jeetrule.
>>108833208reactOS already exists
Regarding the UI, there were only two improvements since then: the resource monitor, and the taskbar is better. And a lot got worse.
>>108832662>What the actual fuck, is it that bad?Yes and it gets even worse with the combined usage of multiple applications>t. daily win11 user due to my job
>>108831384You lived long enough to see the active desktop metaphor from Windows 9X wrap around again to Windows 11..They're running out of ideas.
>>108832974>not even really fixing themThey're already fixing them though? Oh wait, they didn't magically fix everything in GAC builds overnight so people'll still bitch and moan, of course.
>>108831384Windows was never good.
>>108831384NT 4.0 was a masterpiece especially when compared to Windows 95. Too bad NT 4.0 didn't support that many things except for Maya 1.0 in 1999 (or was it in 1998? 2000? Don't remember) and Softimage. That was the final nail to Silicon Graphic's coffin.
>>108834620saaar allocating and reallocating gigabytes of memory data structures for mundane things is not slow saaar unused ram is wasted ram msedgewebview2.exe and renamed electron.exe are the most efficient enterprise grade scalable ways to draw rectangle *stirs curry*
>>108835263No operating system is good, but windows 2000 was the least bad of anything released before or since.
>>108837142windows xp after sp2 was also ok desu

>>108837191We've called so badly

>>108831384Artix w/ XFCE has recreated this feel for me
>>108837183Windows XP is basically a mutilated version of windows 2000. Each version of windows since 2000 has been increasingly damaged.
>>108837228Yeah "this PC" is just a 8KB RAM terminal
>>108831384Nope.
>>108837216>select>F2>My PC
>>108837259I actually like SP3
>>108831456>but it won't get worse like everyone's cheering for either.You underestimate the Jeets power.
>>108831384I remember playing video games in my dad's pc, good times.
>>108832278>>108833369This, ReactOS is the closest thing. I am still surprised why the project is not more popular. It's one of the few open source projects that actually makes sense instead of just being a hobby thing.
>>108837228Correct, Computers have monitors.
>>108837576>I am still surprised why the project is not more popular.It has next to no hardware support and runs literally nothing past a handful OF XP era prpgrams
>>108837590>prpgrams>>108837576Isn't pewdiepie doing coding now? it would be cool if he made a video on reactos
>>108837601Ok
>>108837576>I am still surprised why the project is not more populari wonder howi fucking wonder how [unstable piece of shit that works on nothing and is multiple decades behind] not more popular
>>108837705my apparent slander aside, i genuinely wish i COULD feasibly use reactos as a daily driver, but such a reality will probably come to pass when i reach my mid-life crisis, and it's a long road there
>>108831399i think in september microshart is supposed to release some cloud based abortion of a software that's gonna roll back catastrophic updates automatically. can't wait to see how bad this turns out to be.
>>108839158>One of its developers showed up here a while agoYeah, and I am Charles III of England.
>>108837576Because its a disaster that has been designed to fail. It won't ever be usable, because its not intended to be.
>>108831384Windows 2000 was truly the epitome of the NT kernel. Everything after that was a constant enshitificacion by soiling NT with DOS bullshit or other unnecessary, meaningless things.
>>108837576Literally tranny OS. You will never be Windows
>>108837576ReactOS development is so slow that if another group decided to reverse engineer Windows they could probably achieve what has taken ReactOS’s dev team 30 years by the end of the decade
>>108841439Its because the project is grossly mismanaged. They spent time writing a clone of paint before the kernel even worked. So much developer time is spent fucking about with components that don't matter whilst the core is neglected. A project with focus could absolutely replace ReactOS.
