Microsoft reaffirmed its commitment to AI in Windows 11 and encouraged Electron developers to consider using AI in their apps.

Electron apps are ruining the Windows 11 experience, and even the JavaScript creator has warned against ‘rushed web UX over native,’ but it doesn’t look like that will change Microsoft’s plans. In a post on X and other places, Microsoft reaffirmed its commitment to AI in Windows 11 and encouraged Electron developers to consider using AI in their apps.

    I wouldn’t call Win 8 welcome, most people rather hated it. Then again, following Windows 7, which I the best of the bunch, couldn’t have been easy. MS just bet that the future of Windows was tablets and the world replied “lol no”.

      I grew up with Windows 95 and later XP…

      I remember watching the slow downfall ever since Office 2004 (or maybe that was the last one I liked, can’t remember if it was that or 2000) when they changed from primarily using toolbars with submenus to hiding everything in different tabs.

      Like, I could find everything I needed to on the classic toolbars. The tabs, I never got used to…

      I’ve hated enshittification since before there was even a word for it.

      I strongly considered using Mate when I switched to Linux, but KDE is so sleek and I’m settling into it quite nicely. Plus, LibreOffice lets you choose your toolbar style, so I already have the classic version.

      All my life I thought I hated computers, until I finally tried Linux. Then I realized I just hate Windows (and Mac, I tried Mac and hated it too).

      I think I put off trying Linux for so long because I thought I was incompetent based on my experience with Windows, so I didn’t think I could learn Linux. I was wrong, and some of the beginner-friendly distros make it so easy.

      I wonder if Windows does that on purpose, like an abuser who gaslights their victims by telling them they couldn’t make it on their own, that they need them, when they’re the ones holding them back…

      Meanwhile the real future was smartphones and MS was like “lol no”.

      I remember having a conversation with an MS salesman whose job was to plug Windows Mobile 6.5 … after the iPhone had come out. He had that sad quaver in his voice that people get when they know their task is futile.
