I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't criticize windows because I hate it, but because I want to see it improve it.Unfortunately, the PonmaStss has a market of consumption only at the time, more time where they have to allow the operating system for their viterser users.Of course, Windows can still change, and the former reaction of Redmond Leaf Plumer who invites us to implement intellectual features.Windows is stuck... How do we fix it?
All that remains is to convince his mother (!)
"Windows sucks," and how it can be fixed, according to a former Microsoft executive
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I criticize Windows not because I hate it, but because I want it to improve.Unfortunately, their main mind has the sole priority of market capitalization to the point where they have allowed their operating system to become the main enemy of users.Of course, Windows can still be changed, and Dave Plummer himself, a former engineer at Redmond, invites us to do this mental exercise.Windows is bad… how to fix it?
Most of the criticism that Windows receives today comes from power users.Simplifying the interface and functions in Windows is nothing more than a business decision: when the goal is to reach billions of people with the same product, it is important to polish the surfaces and remove the sharp edges.But Microsoft spent many seasons with him.Dave points out that every recommendation, warning or pop-up window accompanying the suggestion will be friction for those who "live all day" in the operating system.
What to Change in Windows
At that time, the rally-up scream was "developers, developers," because Windows needs an application ecosystem above all else.Dave says the mission was completed, and the new cry should be "making users, making a conversation, and serve as a reference before friends and colleagues.The first thing we have heard again and again is a suggestion once again, and why veterans miss us for sure: "Professional Mode" legitimate in Windows.
In other words, a configuration that changes the characteristics of the operating system from "reliable and conversational" to "definitive and concise".This should change three things: First, the extensibility and persistence of the operating system drops to zero.No more suggested apps, no more internet services, and no more web searches in the local search engine (unless the user requests it).Second, the control of the operating system should be concentrated in one place of authority.If anything is present in the settings section, then it should be the same as what was there in the old control panel and should be easy to find.
The third change has a more technical profile and the toolchain has sharper teeth: more relevance to WSL, Windows Terminal as default console, Winget in frontline and full functions, OpenSSH, Tor and other bands are already available.In short, if the user declares himself "advanced", let the operating system cut out the "second opinions" and get out of the way.
Arguably, Dave mentions other controversial aspects such as telemetry/privacy, the responsibility of using an account, surprise updates causing terrorism and the desktop being "the last untouched place".If it is negotiable, the company must explain it
Resolving account conflicts is very simple: let the user decide.Online or local account, no scams or dark patterns.When it comes to updates, Dave recommends a scheduled maintenance strategy that never distracts the user from the work (but always gives them the final say), and also doesn't use "experience packs" that change the interface.Two cores and two user spaces per update, in case something goes wrong.
Finally, Windows Monetization is out of control.Dave said "we've crossed the line where the OS feels like a sales channel" for some services, and he's right.There is no discussion here: In the professional version of windows, that must be gone.
This covers about half of the video, but the rest is just as interesting.With over 3,000 comments (and counting) it's clear that users agree with Dave.Something in Windows needs to change, asap.
It is very good if these improvements are implemented, in any case, you do not block memory systems (special system), compared to another, Windows continues to be a toy.
