Microsoft is losing Builders fast. They’re switching to MacOS and Linux. The biggest pull keeping people on Windows, outside of shear inertia, is content creation and gaming. However, even these are falling to Linux.
Without Builders, you don’t have software, and without software, you don’t have users. This is why Microsoft needs Windows Lite.


If you think its bullshit that shouldnt be happening open a bug report. Its more than likely a skill issue because office is pretty simple to manage
Nah, Windows is getting terrible. I had to delete AI.exe and aimgr.DLL to get performance back in the office suite. Updates try to out it back, and I know as soon as its deployed because everything runs like crap. And there’s Onedrive that locks up the system while it syncs a newly written local PC file to the cloud. Like it should immediately write local, and sync in the background but it waits for the commit back from one drive
I fill out a good number of reports. I can’t always be bothered to do it, and they probably don’t read them anyways because of the swearing
it’s not my job to do QA on their shitty products
and our IT support doesn’t know what causes some issues or how to resolve them either, so it’s not likely a user skill issue.
if you’re not coming across issues with Microsoft products, it’s more than likely that you’re simply not actually using them
The only real issues I come across are issues with their new features like intune stuff on mac. The core stuff all work pretty reliably with little to no maintenance and have great documentation. The only complaints I ever see/hear for teams, onedrive and 365 apps are users being dumb or caused by device issues. There are of course microsoft outages (often) but they fix themselves most of the time.
I will never forget the bewilderment I felt the first time the File Explorer crashed – and that hasn’t been the only time. Forget Office, they can’t even get the start menu to work properly. Call it feature rich if you like, but of any modern OS they are the furthest away from the core stuff working reliably in my experience.
Hm, sounds shilly.
