Comment Comment by publicdebates How likely is a future where Microsoft(a) gives us back 2000/XP/7/11 options for UI,(b) gives us a desktop-first experience when we have keyboard/mouse plugged in,(c) stops turning every OS feature into an ad, and makes it utilitarian again,(d) and focuses 100% on making a stable OS and high quality dev/office apps?It would be so nice if they just forked a commit from ~2005 and started from there.(Maybe Copilot will mess up & erase commits so they have to? One can only dream.) parent publicdebates 9 months ago
(a) gives us back 2000/XP/7/11 options for UI,
(b) gives us a desktop-first experience when we have keyboard/mouse plugged in,
(c) stops turning every OS feature into an ad, and makes it utilitarian again,
(d) and focuses 100% on making a stable OS and high quality dev/office apps?
It would be so nice if they just forked a commit from ~2005 and started from there.
