Yeah as much as this sucks I honestly hope that Microsoft will actually take advantage of this and start moving legacy support into more specialized options.
A lot of the reason windows is so janky at times is because of the insane obsession they have with backwards compatibility.
Lol, worst take I have ever heard.
-
Windows has no purpose these days outside backwards compatibility.
-
Windows primarily sucks because of ads and forced updates, not jank.
-
Microsoft exclusively deals in antiquated spaghetti code, removing backwards compatibility won’t change that.
-
Microsoft has no interest in improving users experience they have invested entirely in squeezing in micro transactions not exactly a user first design philosophy.
False.
I work for Microsoft and I can assure you that any effort I make to increase code quality or reduce jank (or pretty much anything other than shoving more AI in our products) will not positively impact my bonus next year.
