Does anyone have the inside scoop on what happened to Microsoft? They were never great in terms of software development, but it seems like they have become completely unable to develop products. Win32 lasted for decades, but I’ve lost count of how many successor frameworks have come and gone. Products like OneNote or Outlook get replaced with new versions that have a fraction of the features and are walruses of bloat. (It’s been years, and “New” Outlook still pops you over to the web to look at your todos.) “New” Teams can’t even keep up with scrolling a large directory listing, when mapping the same share in Windows Explorer results in instant display. This is shit smart high schoolers could do and did back in the day. Microsoft seems to have fallen off a cliff. What happened?
