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.

You simply cannot vibe code a good operating system.

Hell, they weren’t doing too well before that, either. The whole creepy “we know better” vibe was pretty noticeable before the advent of LLMs too - although of course it’s made it a ton worse. But they were always inept and douchy to boot.

As the joke goes, “Do you think Microsoft understands consent? Yes / Maybe yes later”

(Personally I think 11 is way worse than Vista - in isolation, relative to the previous one, morally, somehow UX wise, pretty much any metric you want.)

True, just thought it was funny.

The irony in this being a youtube link though
