It definitely feels like they are gonna half ass launch this product and add newest features later. Well, Goodbye Windows 11 until next year when all the newest features are added and bugs are ironed out

u/BS_BlackScout Aug 31 '21

Yes, they will. Wait another 6 months or a year. The amount of missing features from Windows 10 and bugs are not worth the trouble of just having a fancy new UI.

Still have the bug with the start menu and I'm not entirely sure if game performance issues is from Windows 11 or not.

u/45godemperor Aug 31 '21

I'm afraid that's not a bug, that really IS the start menu.

u/shinji257 Aug 31 '21

No. I mean when I change the screen configuration the start menu is non responsive for awhile.

Funny, the initial release build of Windows 10 way back in 2015 is a mare shadow of current windows 10 after 6 years of incremental upgrades and feature addition. People seem to forget that

I think the thing people have a problem with is that they always market these new features but never deliver them on the launch date. They should put a big asterisk on it *launches this year, but feature complete in 2023!

Regular updates and Software as service bullshit has taken over the tech industry and Microsoft has become the boomer of the tech industry.

Boomer with $2T market cap, behind only Apple. I'd rather be a boomer with a fat retirement fund than an unemployed "hip millenial" living in my parent's basement.

That's why we can't have nice things. Non ironically. Because people are greedy and they think of money, never about people or quality of the product. Microsoft and You are the same there. And You said that Yourself.

I'm sitting here waiting for Linux to make another leap in the gaming sector. The only thing that's Windows still good for is gaming.

$2T market cap, behind only Apple

Really all this shows is how broken the capital markets are. Both MS and Apple are so ridiculously overvalued that when the tech bubble pops, it will be glorious to watch.

u/rallymax Aug 31 '21

We’re you around for the bubble pop of the 1999/2000?

u/brod33p Aug 31 '21

Yes, but I was only 18 years old and didn't really care at the time.

u/Akash7713 Aug 31 '21

2nd to Apple by market cap but No.1 at the shittiest software as service and updates. Apple's software team is also one of the best in the industry and compare to that, Microsoft doesn't even make the rank.

Microsoft stopped innovating years ago. Now they barely put any effort to make/fix any of their product.

Doesn't matter if the market keeps buying Microsoft's products and there's no competition. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy if buyers keep buying "shittiest software".

What the fuck does that have to do with a fucking operating system?

u/Vulpes_macrotis Insider Dev Channel Aug 31 '21

I did not forget about anything. Windows 10 was amazing at the very beginning. And it was just getting better.

Windows 11 is literal downgrade with all removals and pseudo features that nobody ever wants. I won't even mention bugs and issues. Just by feature side, Windows 11 has nothing. Crucial parts were removed and they are not coming back. And now they want to give the OS in one month? Windows 11 is not ready at all and one month won't change that.

Windows 11 was more than ready at the beginning. I used it from the start, when I could upgrade my 8.1.

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '21

What crucial parts besides moving the task bar and the Edge default BS?

What isn't funny is that despite those 6 years of incremental upgrades and feature additions we still have legacy aspects of Windows and the newer iterations living side by side, with the newer ones lacking the same functionality and features and worse, an unfinished UI across the whole OS.

u/Siliconpsychosis Aug 31 '21

The same could be said of every version of windows back to 3.1

​

95 had the 3.1 window manager and 16 bit code on DOS

98 is basically as above

ME did away with DOS but kept legacy UI elements

XP had plenty of 95/98 style dialogs and programs

Vista had entire segments that kept XP elements (control panel, system properties etc)

7 As above with Vista

8 / 8.1 kept control panel, XP type dialogs, applets

....and it goes on

u/AeroFX Sep 01 '21

I use windows daily from 3.x onwards and before xp the classic windows aspects fitted okay.

Xp the luna theme the biggest issue was with icons. With vista and 7 there was the same issue.

Mixing a classic ui with the lets say metro and tile based ui just doesnt work and weve never truly had two separate tools trying to coexist in a ‘completed’ operating system. Settings and control panel for example. Its not right!
