Nah as far as I’m aware the CEO is not resigning and there are no leadership changes. They’re mostly laying off artists from game studios, software QA, testers, devs they think they can replace with AI vibe coding etc.
I’ve read that windows 11 uses react (a JavaScript view framework) for parts of the UI, and that seems insane to me. JavaScript isn’t a great language. It’s popular because it runs in the browser. The windows desktop is not a browser.
Users report that clicking the Start button can spike CPU usage by 30% to 70% on at least one core, depending on the hardware configuration. The issue doesn’t occur consistently across all systems, with some users noting it happens in about 50% of clicks.
Actually you forgot about data mining or Spyware. Windows has literally become Spyware. I would switch faster than light if anticheat didn’t gatekeep Linux.
Edit: Microsoft products have literally become Spyware
It’s popular because it has an insanely low barrier to entry, so that’s what gets taught in schools and boot camps. Then that’s all Jr devs know entering the work force. Companies don’t invest in mentoring juniors and cultivating talent anymore, so as the seniors get poached, retire, or move into later stages of their career, JS is the only skill left.

Stripping the copper wiring from the walls.
That’s such a good analogy

Win11 start menu is a react native component.

I hate the auto-hide feature of the start menu. It doesn’t work right. I started using Bazzite/KDE, and it’s done correctly there.
Well, given the goal is to turn Windows into a cloud-hosted, on-demand subscription service, it makes perfect sense.

TBH the software QA team wasn’t doing much all these years.
TBH they fired the QA team a long time ago.
No, really, that’s not a joke: They actually fucking did this.
