The Mac mini hitting a new price point at the same time as windows 11 not installing on many old pcs because of the TPM chip requirement was big 1-2 punch.
That Macbook Neo for $499 at the Education Store probably has someone a little worried.
Windows 11 doesn’t have fans. It has people reluctantly using it as there are no better consumer alternatives.
How about stop breaking stuff with patches?
Something a few patches back screwed with mouse sensitivity and despite multiple attempts to fix and half a dozen tries at tinkering with mouse settings my work laptop remains a daily struggle of everything I click opening a new window and basic copy/paste being a constant battle.
Way too little way too late. This has been the generalized anger for a WHILE
Microsoft will never win me back. Linux keeps getting better and better. I have never had issues with gaming on Linux (I don’t play titles with kernel level anti-cheat), and theres plenty of support for anything else I would need. Very few people have real exceptions where they do need Windows, as long as they’re willing to use their brains a little to learn something new.
as a person who hates apple and never wanted to buy another one since the ipod my mac book pro is very nice the operating system is unobtrusive and very fast plus the unix base makes developing and experimenting on this so much easier and nicer.
I have been supporting Windows for 30 years now, and this era feels worse than the ME/8 times. Not only is it vibe coded slop, but they are actively making the UX worse. My home device is now Linux, and I will actively push for Apple products whenever it comes up at work. Now that Apple has decent enterprise support tools that work, it feels like the right move. We may have reached a tipping point. Ditching M365 is probably not in the cards, but Windows is in danger.
In the year 2026.
Apple sells an ecosystem to you; the end user. Your phone, tablet, computer, watch, it all works together. You can choose the amount you buy in.
Microsoft sells an ecosystem to your workplace and it just so happens it’s profitable to subsidize the home cost because they can claim a cheaper training cost to your workplace.
Google sells your eyeballs as the end user to anyone willing to ad spend. The ecosystem keeps being built and canceled at random.
Maybe remove bloat?
11 is way over engineered, filled with absurd redundancies and ads, everywhere. The amount of ads in Windows 11 is absolutely grotesque. Everything is way, way overdone. Right click on something in explorer and you are given 497 options, 493 of which you will NEVER use. Microsoft has never had one single AI or assistant tool that is usable. Copilot/Cortana/Clippy – no one wants this because it’s not helpful.
It’s a miserable experience.
Why should anyone believe these hollow words? Microsoft has been killing off the things that keep it relevant: its enormous market share.
Sleep in the bed you made, Satya. Linux and Macs are superior.
Fuck Microslop, they are at the end of their product enshitification life cycle having completely given up on the user experience and making useful things for people, they are just trying to grab as much cash as they can from investors before their decision to put all their eggs in the shoddy AI basket drags them down.
I have an iPad and I got my 365 account running better on that than it has on Windows 11 in a long time. I did get some improvement using 11 when I cussed out Microsoft in all caps to CoPilot. CoPilot said to try logging in using x365 and that is a lot better most of the time. It seems less inclined to get CoPilot into everything. I almost hate to tell people about it as I suspect if too many people use it, MS will close this door.
Maybe start by fucking stopping with the AI bullshit?
Turns out it’s hard to run overbloated piece of shit spyware apps when RAM costs an arm and a leg.
Windows 11 fans? What are those?
Nadella bet large and wrong. He pulled money away from the teams that made Windows a half decent OS and then threw money at cramming ai slop and spyware into every inch of Windows he could. He also tried to force the worst ai assistant available on every part and windows and have it write critical parts of the windows codebase, which led to it inevitable breaking a lot. Dude is an idiot and finally the investors are realizing it.
Release Windows 11 IoT LTSC for home users.
No AI crap, no modern apps, no force Microsoft account.
Let me guess, their plan is to shove more adds in in the panels, fons more places to put useless AI, remove more features users want and like, and keep trying to force you to pay to access your own files by holding them hostage in OneDrive.
Microsoft has pushed me out of Xbox and Windows. I have one W11 machine left and that’s my gaming desktop. As SteamOS continues to improve, it is only a matter of time.
There’s been a whole lot of “winning back” at Microsoft. Maybe do it right the first time?
I can’t even “save as” anymore. The window that comes up when I click “save a copy” makes me want to die every time I see it. Microsoft, please don’t try to suggest or predict where I want to save a file. You’ve literally never gotten that right in the history of windows.
We don’t want Windows 11 to run better on low RAM PCs, we want you to stop gobbling up all the RAM making it unaffordable for everyone else.
The design needs an overhaul. The windows menu is horrible. The search takes forever because it’s linked to that menu and loads junk I don’t care about.
You have control panel with some things and the settings window with others.
The apps are super slow to start.
Just give me a real search like spotlight for Mac. Clean up the windows menu and remove all the garbage.
Fix File Explorer and make it much faster with less junk. I don’t care to see previews of stuff, I just want to manage my files!
CEO managed to figure this out? Outstanding! Give the guy another 20 mil!
The „fans“ he’s referring to are the people at work who are forced to use Windows.
How about you start by scaling down on AI slop everywhere across the OS
How about not filling every aspect of the software with AI and terrible UI decisions. I swear every year it gets just worse and worse.
All that talk and nothing about making copilot „optional“
Gonna need more than a bit better ram performance.
* stable patches.
* exceptional peformance
* 0 bloat
* features you opt into (like AI one drive etc)
* if I opt out, never ask again
* secure
* private
Thats what an OS should do and all we need it to. We can install any crap we want after that if we want it.
„Windows 11 fans“ 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Yeah, you’re never winning me back, I finally can do everything and so much more on my linux distro, shouldn’t have waited until the copilot push but apparently that was the straw that broke it for me and I’ve been sticking around since win 3.1.
I didn’t leave because of performance. I left because you dillusional dungstains are all up in my personal information.
„Fans“ is a weird way to spell „hostage“.
„Improve performance for low RAM PCs“ Well, Satya, maybe if you hadn’t helped exacerbate the AI hardware crunch…
He got it wrong again…
All previous attempts to help low RAM PCs caused weird tiers.
No.
The answer is that the entire Windows Platform as shipped by Microsoft should use less RAM all the time, leaving more for user apps.
Yes you can use optimiser to preload into free RAM, that’s okay but the apps should use less RAM when running.
That quote definitely confirms they’re out of touch with people’s issues with windows lately. Yes part of it is how heavy windows has become but it’s also things like forced copilot, bad updates, forced updates, copilot, ads in the start menu, privacy concerns, copilot.
Improve performance for low RAM PCs?
It’s a frickin operating system. It shouldn’t even HAVE measurable „performance“! It should just allow users to launch apps and connect to hardware! FFS
Yet not one mention of:
* Respecting user privacy
* No forced Ai
* No Tracking
* No siphoning of user data.
* No uploading of files to the cloud for „analysis“.
this is just a hype carrot dangling for the zombie masses. business will continue as planned.
Literally the only reason I use Windows 11 is because they discontinued the better ones.
I fucking hate MicroSlop.
Too late.

Windows is broken, xbox is dead, github is a complete mess. I think its satya that needs to be exchanged.
But hey, as long as the stock keeps going up, by the means of „AI“ and layoffs….
Windows 11 has fans? Lmao
