Key video concept for Linus on Microsoft: a compelling take on technology trends and insights.
Windows 10 comes with a media player and isn’t overly bloated compared to other OSes. Yet there are issues. It doesn’t randomly display ads on the desktop or elsewhere, which is unusual. Edge remains the default browser, not some odd program. Why isn’t it bundled with Windows? Of course, improvements are possible—macOS could be better, Windows could improve, and Linux might shine. Current versions of Windows 10 are definitely stronger than earlier ones, even if they share the same name. Having Linus discuss this wouldn’t make a difference for Microsoft. Things just don’t work that way.
This discussion highlights why Microsoft is unlikely to create a superior operating system. If everyone expressed their preferences instead of debating which OS is better, they might actually take action. The focus should be on what people want rather than constant comparisons. I realize my effort to unite people for a better product was misguided; contributing positively would mean sharing specific ideas about what an OS should offer. Microsoft seems unaware of user needs, as they’d likely dismiss this conversation if it attracted attention. This is just a thought experiment—no guarantee they’ll join.
They've been enhancing Windows 10 since its launch and plan to keep doing so. It's hard to grasp how they can make progress, have made improvements, and still release Windows 11 without it. In your view, they'd dismiss feedback about missing features or complaints about what's already there, treating your opinions as unimportant.
No, it's not. Microsoft isn't planning a superior version since they won't create another one, simply updating Windows 10. Probably nothing significant will change. I'm uncertain about this, though I might be mistaken. They seem unlikely to act. We were talking about why Windows 7 should be avoided in 2021 because people didn't all agree on that. Personally, I'm curious about the browsers and search engines they use for their search bar. Where did you learn that? They maintain their own discussion boards. Once more, I don't think they rely solely on community forums to gather information.
