Imagine being one of the developers who put their time and effort into the base OS tools back in the day (almost all of which we had as far back as 7) only to watch Windows 11 undo all of it.
The hilarious thing about Vista to me is that I remember hating it at the time, but now I’ve seen versions of Windows so much worse that I can’t even muster mild dislike for it lmao
vice versa for me and 10. “oh ok, it unfucked everything 8 did wrong. Sure the settings UI is a little changed, but I’m going to move countries in a few weeks, I can’t change operating systems to 7 or linux now”
fucking SIX years it took me to get off that awful OS
Just AI generating an image of what the desktop should look like.
Mouse, keyboard, and other inputs are treated like prompts (e.g. move pointer to 43, 135).
All that gets stored on your disk is these prompts in a giant file and it executes it all on each startup to get to the final state you were on last time (it’s never quite right, sometimes completely wrong)
All of that is processed “on the cloud” and you get an eye watering bill at the end of each month (MS is still running on a loss though), but hey at least the PC didn’t cost more than $100 because it’s an SD card, a wireless adapter, and a bunch of cables in a trench coat.
This is saying that their online MS account has somehow lost the database entry for Snipping Tool (something that should just be integrated into the base OS) being associated with their account, meaning that even though it appears installed and I’m pretty sure based on what I’m seeing the binaries are ready and waiting. The online store prevents it from launching. Definitely exclusive to MicroSlop.

edit : I have never worked for microsoft. I have worked with .net

what’s the next step with windows 12? destroy the ashes?
We’ll never know: humans won’t be allowed to touch Windows 12, you can only ask the AI to operate the mouse and keyboard for you.
The AI ethics people are gonne get Microsoft then, for making AI agents interact with their horrible OS.

It’s a shame, really. Watching all their progress be reverted and rolled back to make room for “features” that no sane person actually would want.
