Windows boss promises to heal the operating system's wounds
"Davuluri stated that the movable taskbar dropped from Windows 11 is returning, and Windows Update will stop forcing restarts quite so relentlessly. File Explorer will work as it should, and Windows itself will be less of a resource hog, faster, and more reliable."
"We are reducing unnecessary Copilot entry points, starting with apps like Snipping Tool, Photos, Widgets, and Notepad. You will see us be more intentional about how and where Copilot integrates across Windows, focusing on experiences that are genuinely useful and well-crafted."
"Windows 11 has become a bit of a car crash in the last few years - borked update after borked update. Rather than fixing problems, Microsoft instead focused on adding AI to Notepad and Paint."
"An anonymous contributor to the AnonOpin account on Bluesky remarked that Windows 11 and Office 365 are like a time warp back to the early 2000s, indicating dissatisfaction with stability and functionality."
Microsoft's OS chief, Pavan Davuluri, announced several improvements for Windows 11, including the return of the movable taskbar and less aggressive update restarts. Users can expect a more reliable and faster operating system. The company plans to reduce unnecessary AI features, focusing on meaningful integration of Copilot. Despite these promises, there is criticism regarding the lack of apologies for previous issues and the perception that Microsoft prioritized AI over fixing existing problems.
