In a long post titled “Our commitment to Windows quality,” published on Microsoft’s website and sent via email to millions of members of the Windows Insider Program, Windows boss Pavan Davuluri laid out a laundry list of changes Microsoft plans to make in Windows 11, starting this month.
What’s most remarkable about this post is what it doesn’t contain. Here’s how Davuluri kicked things off:
Every day, we hear from the community about how you experience Windows. And over the past several months, the team and I have spent a great deal of time analyzing your feedback. What came through was the voice of people who care deeply about Windows and want it to be better.
That paragraph belongs in the non-apology Hall of Fame, with a cross-reference to “Friday news dump” – a classic PR technique that aims to minimize media coverage of the awkward news being released.
I have spent a great deal of time analyzing your feedback
Remember when a couple of critical CVEs went unnoticed and unpatched after disclosure because no one from Microsoft actually reads the insider hub lol.
The only reason Microsoft is doing anything is their enterprise customers have had enough of their BS.
Well…yeah. That’s their bread and butter.
I see that photo and i think.
The sweepingest of changes to Windows?
Moving to Linux.
I encourage everyone to take a major dump on Microslop and move to greener pastures
It really is greener there. Been there for almost two decades, it’s so nice. Been tweaking my setup ever since and it’s still evolving all the time.
My last venture has been Niri + Noctalia shell. Works so great together.
Can confirm
Yep
Happy cake day!
Thanks!
I believe the MacBook Neo was a real wake-up call for management. Apple dominates the high-budget market. Now that Apple has entered the low-budget market, it could threaten their market share, as well as Copilot’s.
Low… lol
Sub 500 dollar laptops are low budget for new hardware.

Imo $500-700 is squarely midrange when it comes to laptops, the low end is populated with the e-waste that is shitty $200-300 HP laptops
They start at $730 where I live, there are way better alternatives for less.
Nothing but lip service. MS did not “analyze your feedback” because it was never about what you wanted, they analyzed their income (most likely from enterprise customers) and realized they may have boiled the frog too quickly. Windows will never improve because they do not want it to improve, they want it to make as much money as humanly possible, and they will eternally push that envelope to find out just how much bullshit their customers will tolerate.
They’ve had feedback for years and ignored it.
Then they asked copilot to write a blogpost to get adoption of win11 up.
Here’s the thing, I don’t want Microslop to apologize. Apologies don’t mean shit from major corporations unless actual change happens. It’s appalling just how bad Windows is compared to Linux, despite the fact that Linux is free and Windows is a “premium” OS. There are so many things, both big and small, that Linux does better than Windows. Microslop is currently worth almost 3 trillion dollars, they have no excuse.
In fact, something that I saw some time ago, was a video of Tiny 11 being booted into with just 184MB of ram. It didn’t run that well, as it was pretty much unusable for multiple reasons, but this proves that Microslop has plenty of room for improvements in Windows to match Linux in terms of performance.
“Oh shit, steam is really making Linux viable” [2 years late]
the voice of people who care deeply about Windows and want it to be better.
What a funny way to talk about people who spit and swear every day because it’s so crappy.
Yes, some great “pride and accomplishment” vibes. Anothergreat slapnouncement for another slupdate from good ol’ microslop. Just fought with their onedrive not wanting to work because the installed onedrive is too new, and somehow forgetting my account when opening a shared document, functionality not present in the web version, … So much just getting in the way with doing the task you need to do.
Microslop says what?
That reads a lot like McDonald’s ceo eating a burger.
Hey, hang on.
They just raised my annual subscription charge due to costs of AI. Now they’re undoing their work.
I bet the price of my subscription doesn’t go down due to their incompetance.
If you start the ‘cancel’ subscription process it’ll offer a non-ai option back at the original price.
Or at least it used to closer to when they pulled that stunt.
yeah there’s a classic subscription model that doesn’t have slopcrap in it that’s at the original rates before they forced people to pay for to get their AI trash that no one wanted.
cancel, then take the lower sub and dump ai. or just dump microslop entirety
Thousnds of hours went into trashing the usability.
