Since honesty is kindness, Microsoft is by far the worst company I ever had the displeasure of trying to communicate with. Getting them to fix the most basic of bugs always took years. In some cases itās been over two and a half decades and itās still broken.
I never thought it was even possible to make an operating system so broken, Iād have to manually restart my background services and set ānetwork interface metricsā by hand, in advanced TCP/IP settings, while using it.
There are buttons that donāt even do anything when clicked and ones Iāve never seen do anything other than throw an error message.
The AI they rent to pretend to be an AI company, was for years outputting paragraphs, describing the beautiful and artful checkerboard pattern in the background, whenever trying to analyze transparent images. Transparent profile pictures work only on GitHub, the one product where the implementation was done prior to Microsoft acquisition.
Many engineers in their own forums, still manage to make that very AI sound smart, in comparison.
The design is an absolute shitshow, where no two things look like they belong in the same system ā the only thing almost consistent, is excessive padding and rounded corners, placed wherever they fit the least.
But hey, 5000 engineers were fired, that will surely improve things!
