The pivot to AI must be going great.

All Microsoft has to do to keep users happy, really, is provide a stable environment for games and other apps. I’ve encountered very few people who get excited about Windows. But people love gaming. They need to get work done. Manage their photos, digital music, etc.

But, I guess, just providing a stable environment doesn’t correspond with “shareholder value” so… Windows users get this instead. https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2026/03/20/our-commitment-to-windows-quality/

@jzb I feel like this is the most feedback-driven action Microsoft has taken in the last 10 years.

Edit: And it is pathetic that the bar is this low.

@alvan @jzb lol it's awesome. Fixing the task bar at the top and making WSL i/o suck less are my top two things I'd like out of Windows.
