I love how microsoft never learns their lessons.
Thanks, I hate it
Had to spin up a virtual windows machine the other day and was just honestly appalled at how bad the desktop experience is these days
Looks like they're going full speed ahead towards their mobile/tablet/TV/PC unishittification.
I believe they want you to seamlessly transfer stuff from device to device, regardless of which, where and why.
Why do they keep changing the thing? Linux mint Cinnamon desktop has kept the same look and I appreciate that.
Oh it's good they have the "Messages" and "Calls" buttons right there for easy access since so many people message or call my desktop PC.
That looks pretty ugly. I'm not really a fan of trying to make computers look more like phones but I think I'm in the minority there. Oh well, I never use the start menu anyways, I only have a few programs and they're all pinned to my taskbar.
They are removing the only really useful part of the start menu. Fucking genious.
Thanks, I still hate it
It looks like the little windows you'd use to organise your applications in Windows 3.1
Looks even worse than the one they had before
I genuinely in 2024 I don't see why would anyone want to use any Microsoft product. They (alongside with Google) present themselves as malicious companies that only care about user data and providing user notorious ads.
unfortunately they are like the only two competitive corporate email providers. all the business tools integrate with gmail or outlook and almost never anything else. shit is annoying af
Ugh, I just had to get an organization outlook and they've been screwing with backend server protocol support, which kills most third-party apps. For E-MAIL! Nothing about this need a new standard!
I'm really enjoying my Mint 22 experience, the only downside is that I have to switch to windows to play Once Human.
I was worried this was going to be a problem when I bought new Windows 11 laptops for my octogenerian parents to use. Fortunately, it turns out they never even knew how to use the start menu on earlier versions of Windows - they always just used the desktop or toolbar shortcuts I had set up for them. "The more things change, the more they never were in the first place".
