Microslop is going to spend 2026 improving Windows 11. It comes after Windows update quality issues and complaints about the operating system.
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.
Somehow my 11 feels that way, being in EU, having it installed with the W7 license key that came with my laptop. Still, there are bugs that seem ludicrous to me, from a company like them, especially in the file explorer that cannot manage keyboard shortcuts properly when you move between tabs, or that don’t highlight the proper file or folder you’ve selected. Same thing with how buggy Excel has become, especially with rendering when you switch between multiple files. Selections are offset from were the mouse is, that’s crazy. Best solution I’ve found is a quick CTRL-N, CTRL-W that seems to reset it. Anyway, I’ve been using windows since 2.0 on MS DOS 3.30 or 5.0, Excel for about 20 years most of my life at work, and things are really not improving.
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…
Lol. Buhbyeeeeee
Way too fucking late for that.
About thirty years too late. That horse has bolted long ago.
That horse has sailed.
They burned that horse.
I have a strong feeling they won’t be removing the spying, AI everywhere, ads, and bloatware.
Seems they’re figuring out you can’t sell ads and AI on your platform if nobody wants to use your platform.
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.
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.
Plus getting closer with the govt contracts to allow private data to be surveillance.
As positives for them ;)
Rebuild trust… by integrating more mandatory and default-on server-based features?
And the fixes will be vibe coded too.
I wake up to a bright flashing of my phone.
It is 3am, damn I forget to turn my phone to silent.
I can’t resist the urge, who would text me this time of night??!?
“hey I have been thinking about you, you know I think we could work it out together. I wll spend 2026 improving myself I promise. Please baby I miss you”
“go to bed Microslop, you are drunk and you are the one that wanted the divorce because you left me for Al” I text back frustratedly and turn my phone to silent.
King/Queen (whichever you prefer, frigging royalty)
I want a divorce and I’m keeping Clippy

That is corporate speak for Microsoft is going to spend millions on a PR campaign.
Let me guess: instead of improving their products, they’re going to get the US security industrial complex to silence the critics.
I personally just want a glorified calculator (that works on text too) I can trust in doing what I tell it to do. And not some “experience” that does all kinds of unspecified things in the background. But that’s just me.
Wait, so you’re telling
meDell that you don’t want their new AI laptop? But it’s how those ahead get, uh, behind, or whatever the buzz phrase is now.The phrase used to be like “move fast and crash” or something similar.
I already moved to Linux, and I’m not going back.
Migrating users might be a few, but they rarely go back. A few users monthly eventually become a lot!
Microslop is going to spend 2026 improving Windows 11.
Why bother? Just upgrade everyone to Windows 10.
Upgrade everybody to Linux Mint. Problem solved.
Or a distro using Wayland for higher end PCs.
Are they, tho?
Source code or perish.
