Congratulations to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella for parting with the age-old tradition of following up a bad Windows with a good one

@Tijn my biggest concern with Microsoft burying the bar underground is that Apple can walk over by shuffling their feet on the ground. Tahoe is a disaster and if there is zero competition then they have no incentive to make it better.

@yozy The year of Linux on the desktop is finally here!

@Tijn @yozy I guess we’ll see, but Linux is better than ever and works on the hardware you have today, unlike this new Windows or getting a mac. With the AI inflated prices we have now that’s particularly relevant

@yozy @Tijn at least the guy responsible for Tahoe, and his lieutenants, are no longer around: what a mess.

@Tijn I thought we were right on schedule: millennium bad, XP good, vista bad, 7 good, 8 bad, 10 good, with 11 being a new fresh flavor of awful.

@forty2 @Tijn I already considered 10 bad. And u forgot 8.1, which was just as terrible as 8
Show threadBonkersMar 4
@forty2 @Tijn was it? I honestly haven't noticed much difference after upgrading to 11.
Show threadFeth 🎉Mar 4
@forty2 all bad. I've used 3.1, 95, 95bis, 98, 98bis…

@Tijn except 10 isn't that good, and the whole point of 10 was there would be no need for any more, as there would be permanent gradual changes...

@Tijn
The last good one would have been Windows 9, but that turned out to be a disaster, so they skipped directly to Windows 10, and Windows 11 ended the tradition of using even numbers for the crap versions.

@Tijn They've been on a streak of not good for a long time anyways. Windows 8 was bad, 8.1 was meh, 10 was bad, 11's bad and 12's gonna be bad. 7 was truly the last good one, but that's just my experience. 8.1 and/or 10 could be a good one for some but 10 was a torture for me..

Those LTSC ones are pretty good though.
