Microsoft announces sweeping Windows changes - but no apologies (www.zdnet.com)

In a long post titled "Our commitment to Windows quality," published on Microsoft's website and sent via email to millions of members of the Windows Insider Program, Windows boss Pavan Davuluri laid out a laundry list of changes Microsoft plans to make in Windows 11, starting this month.

What's most remarkable about this post is what it doesn't contain. Here's how Davuluri kicked things off:

Every day, we hear from the community about how you experience Windows. And over the past several months, the team and I have spent a great deal of time analyzing your feedback. What came through was the voice of people who care deeply about Windows and want it to be better.

That paragraph belongs in the non-apology Hall of Fame, with a cross-reference to "Friday news dump" -- a classic PR technique that aims to minimize media coverage of the awkward news being released.

They HAVE to be seeing some attrition.

Prepare to see them sabotage Wine.

I've heard the entire DOT is switching from the M365 apps to GSuite, thats gotta hurt.

It's def disruptive, depends on how much teams and 'sharepoint' they're using. I've done some decent sized orgs before (not that big) and anything that's not just email and a distribution list is always a pain.

I’m sorry, but you don’t sweep windows, you wipe or squeegee them. It also helps if the manufacture doesn’t fill the gap between the panes with actual feces.

It's fun to make Copilot admit that Microsoft products suck, only to watch it self censor itself seconds later.

Maybe they can have Bill Gates talk about it too.
