i'm surprised that they are surprised

they still haven't learn from their past mistakes

- hiring problem

- culture problem

- lack of testing

- bloat driven development

- tasteless when it comes to UX

- they follow gnome, mobile-first UI/UX for a desktop OS that nobody use on mobile, the irony

management will still get their fat bonuses, so nothing will change, they missed 2 opportunities to reboot windows

their lack of vision and courage prevents them from unbloating their OS

"legacy bits" that holds back windows, things that nobody use anymore, and even if they get rid of them, the harm is done, and they lack taste and vision to make something proper anyways

EDIT:

I almost forgot the poor state of native windows development.. no proper modern GUI frameworks, they are still stuck with XAML, a joke compared to Swift/SwiftUI/Universal apps (mobile/ipad/desktop)
