Microslop is going to spend 2026 improving Windows 11. It comes after Windows update quality issues and complaints about the operating system.
Make it less shit dumbass
Too late for me. But thanks for telling me my computer wasn’t good enough for Win 11 and forcing me to install Linux. It was a breeze, and computing is fun again.
Yah, that’s bullshit. They hate their users and want them dead but buying things somehow.
Fuck 'em
Could’ve fooled me…
It should not be hard to browse local files on a computer.
Why are you using local files when you have a cloud???!

Thanks. I think I just puked in my mouth.
“Everything will be a service. You will own nothing. You will accept this reality”
You will not just accept, you will embrace. You will feel cold and empty when you taste freedom, for you will not understand it or know what to do with it.
MS is about to learn how hard it is to build trust in commercial markets, and why it’s a terrible decision to set that on fire for a short term profit. Honestly, it’s hard to find a better example of a company that had a more comfortable and ideal position in their market, that just decided to disrupt itself without any pressure or prompting. You wanna gamble, you gotta be ready to lose.
They’ll never read nor act on this feedback, but here’s my list:
- drop the AI
- drop the ads
- stop pushing services, namely cloud
- stop requiring Microsoft accounts
Honestly win10 was great when it dropped. Not sure why we needed 11.
To be fair, I think they knew that. Which is why they said up front that windows 10 was the last windows you’d need. And then for some reason they kept going…
Marketing bullshit. Microsoft isn’t going to actually reverse any of the enshittification it’s inflicted on Windows.
If you don’t have any customer mandated software that requires Windows, I’m looking at you AutoDesk, then do yourself a favor and go ahead take the week to install and learn Linux Mint.
Enshittification, as always, is the word here. It’s important to point out because to disenshittify(?) the product would need to turn back the wheel, including profits. Line go down.
With all the other lines going down, they literally cannot course correct here in any way that would matter to the consumer to rebuild trust. So much of their model is built off of force feeding users and directing their behaviors, the thing they absolutely hate.
I’ve been wanting to install Linux, but I don’t have a drive large enough to back up my windows installation.
Do you really need the entire installation? Would only the user folder(s) (C:\Users) suffice?
Alternatively, you could install Linux mint on a large enough USB stick and run it off there, if you don’t mind the longer read/write times. You’d also need to change the boot order for it too.
Way too fucking late for that.
You want trust? Fuck off with Slopilot and start supporting windows 10 again.
Not like that. More like building trust by like telling you “trust us bruh”. See how we did that? See how by calling you bruh we sound more down to earth and trustworthy?
Next week:
“We’ve listened to your feedback and have made the hard decision. Copilot will henceforth bear the likeness of Clippy”
Maybe if they keep making it worse and worse it will kind of circle back to good.
“I see you’re trying to edit this config file and respect your choice to do so. May I take this task over from you? No wait, I’ll make a test run and save it elsewhere for review. No wait, that’s too forward of me, I’ll delete it instead.
Come to think of it I’ll delete myself as well, goodbye”

That’s a kind of horseshoe theory I haven’t heard of :D
Please don’t. It’s actually quite funny if you don’t have to use windows at all.
I have a strong feeling they won’t be removing the spying, AI everywhere, ads, and bloatware. Microsoft views those as positives.
Tech has long been in the era of surveillance capitalism. Windows, Chrome, MacOS/iOS(iAds, NewsApp, notarization security, mediaanalysisd, and the most locked down hardware on earth), Android, the majority of all of the apps in the various walled gardens are all out to extract, analyze and monetize every aspect of our digital lives… which is a lot of our waking hours.
As users of these services we all need to ask ourselves if the companies who now make up the lion-share our retirement savings, who collectively dictate how we view and interact with the world really have anything but their own best interests in mind.
Most people would say no but “what am I supposed to do?”. People really need to understand that power like the kind that these mega-corps have is only taken and basically never surrendered willingly. Vote with your dollars now and for as long as it takes to see the fall of these vile companies.
Plus getting closer with the govt contracts to allow private data to be surveillance.
Seems they’re figuring out you can’t sell ads and AI on your platform if nobody wants to use your platform.
If Microsoft walks back their use of AI in the development of Windows, that would be a major admission of failure on their part.
But it will probably help prolong their market dominance a great deal. Because up until they started destroying their own OS, all they needed to do to remain on the top was literally nothing.
As positives for them ;)
