Win 11 needs an XP SP2 moment, says ex-Microsoft engineer
""We set aside all feature work," he recalled. "For several months, all we did was improve security. We didn't add security features. We fixed bugs. Lots of bugs, until there weren't any security bugs to fix anymore. And then we fixed the ones we didn't know about yet.""
""Put simply," he said, "we stopped trying to add value to the product through features that PMs [Project Managers] thought users would like and instead we focused on things that had been important for a long time but overlooked.""
""Just for one release," he said. "Just till it doesn't suck.""
Windows 11 is receiving many AI-driven features that prioritize business goals over user experience. Users face degraded performance and reliability while AI integration has provoked substantial negative feedback. Management continues to promote AI despite user complaints. The proposed remedy is to suspend new features for one release cycle and concentrate on stability, performance, security, and comprehensive bug fixes. The XP Service Pack 2 response to the 2003 Blaster worm provides a precedent of halting feature work to eliminate security and reliability bugs. A one-release stability focus aims to restore system dependability and user confidence.
