> Microsoft is notable for dubious quality control standards regarding releases of its flagship operating system, Windows. That one of its engineers should drop some dodgy code into the Linux kernel is not hugely surprising
The Register has been going crazy with the editorializing lately. Is this even true? I hate Windows as much as anyone, but the OS itself doesn’t feel particularly buggy or untested these days. (It’s the programs you install that provide that element.)
Most of the Windows 8 and later bullshit feel very Alpha and Beta, unlike the Omega that was Windows 7 and prior.
The most obvious is the nouveau context menu in Windows 11. That literal dumpster shit in 23H2 still doesn't work as well as the real context menu: Doesn't highlight the icon/object upon opening, occasionally acts like an independent window unto itself, and other "clearly has not been dogfooded" behaviour.
