i wish it was related to AI, but it really isn't.
MS has always been an absolute clusterfuck of a company internally. nobody actually improves systems, people just build layers around the old garbage like an onion without touching the inner layers. excel has layers dating back to the 90s.
amongst people who develop low-level cross-platform applications, it has been generally known that windows is technically stuck in the 90s with incredible amounts of fundamental issues that have barely been patched up, while linux and macOS have continued to improve over the years.
obviously, this is a known issue at MS, and since windows itself doesn't really drive the revenue of MS anymore these days and mostly just costs money, there was an ambitious project during the w10 days to replace all if the innards with linux internals and set up an emulation layer for backwards compatibility.
this project died because as always within MS, some management guy decided that they want to build themselves an empire within the company by starting another project or adding another onion layer that helps boost their career, and then we got windows 11.
as a developer and someone who knows a lot of people at MS, please just switch away from that piece of shit. all cross-platform developers and likely even MS itself will be better off when windows dies.
