Windows hit its lowest market share in decades, Microsoft lost $400 billion in a week, and now their own president is admitting they need to fix the OS. SteamOS and Linux aren’t waiting around.

    I have to agree. Vista was a dud, but there were a number of legitimate improvements made over Windows XP. Windows 11 is just a worse Windows 10. Other than maybe tabs in the Explorer, I can’t think of anything they’ve improved and a whole lot they made worse.

      Exactly. Vista was rushed and buggy but that’s, y’know, par for the course really. I think there was a time in the 00’s where they really wanted to be extremely optimistic about Moore’s law-style performance gains, and for some reason they thought they could aim ahead of the curve. Cue Vista actually running like dogshit even aside from outright crashes and such.
