I have, since Windows 10, tried to use the Microsoft store to play games, but for whatever reason it just suddenly stopped opening one evening. All the games I had wouldn't launch. I spent a month trying to fix it and eventually just gave up. When 11 came out, I could finally play games again, but because Microsoft Microsofted it randomly stopped working again after an update. It wouldn't even launch the Xbox app anymore and I ended up wasting 2 months worth of subscription money trying to get gamepass to work. Tried to get a refund and they told me "I was playing games for the whole month and couldn't be refunded." This is a multi million dollar "tech company" and they can't get their tech to work consistently. I've seen indie studios destroyed for less, but since they have the infinite money glitch irl they can't die.
I feel your pain, dude. I wanted so, _so_ badly to play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 on Game Pass today, but that's not going to happen now since one of Micro$oft's _glorious_ new updates broke both the Game Pass app _and_ the Store to the point where I can't update, install, or uninstall apps now.

So we are currently doing IT security testing among employees (like learning how to detect phishing emails and the like) and IT recently had to tell us to downgrade the latest version of Outlook to the old one, because apparently in the newest version they made it so you cannot check URLs of links when hovering over them with the mouse - only way to find out would be to click the link, which would make phishing emails way harder to detect.

On top of the valid points you raised… Microsoft moved the windows button AND made it change position based on how many windows you have open. It’s a UI sin.

It literally filled up my entire hard-drive's recycle bin folder with the same trash files over and over.

I had taken a few years off as an MS admin and it was bad back then, but now, it’s so insanely awful I couldn’t even believe it.

Windows feels progressively more and more convoluted. Everything is hidden just like you said behind newer setting that do almost the same thing, but not quite, so you still need to open the older settings. the UI never matches like it does in iOS or Linux, its just all over the place.

Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo all charging to play online is what made me transition to PC, despite me being a huge fan of PlayStation and Nintendo games. I don't want to pay monthly for the privilege of playing with others. I'd rather just stick to PC where I don't have to pay to play online AND games get discounted way more often.

@@NahnomachinesSon Exactly. PCs also tend to last longer- you can upgrade your graphics card after a few years and it'll be able to run new games again. Not to mention PC can do much more than a console. You're not paying for convenience anymore with consoles. Back in the day (Pre-360 era) consoles were more convenient. You got your console, controller, preferably a memory card, your game disc and you'd plop it in and play. You didn't need day-1 patches... games were (usually) reliably solid. If you build a PC, it's not too hard, you save even more money. PC is the way to go.
Graphic Designer here. Can we also mention the Windows logo got uglier too? Vista and Windows 7 had some cool small animations and features on their interface. Many things turn ugly from Windows 8 onwards
Getting rid of rounded edges was a massive step backwards too. At least 11 brought that back. There's a psychological reason rounded edges work better in UI, it's less demanding on your brain to process because in nature sharp edges are kind of rare. This is why warnings will use them, like stop signs and triangular signs etc. Apple knew this all the way back in 1984 which is why even the very first Mac OS UI had them despite being incredibly computationally expensive to render at the time. Sharp edges everywhere is fatiguing on your eyes.

You missed the opportunity to point out that one time Microsoft wanted to enforce all games to be sold through the Microsoft Store, which led Valve to just say no and invest time and money into making compatibility on Linux through Steam, which probably is the whole reason the Steam Deck is an actual thing.

Gabe and some of the other Valve founders being ex-Microsoft probably helped them anticipate this stuff.

the only true browser that doesn't have this issue is Firefox since it's not chromium based, yes it can have it's own vulnerabilities, but when they happen they don't affect every other browser since, you know, it is it's own thing
Low-level performance-aware CS programmer here, and the entire web "stack" is full of awful foundational technology ripe for innovation. Everyone using the web is now used to delays on the order of seconds for simple tasks, yet modern hardware could do several of orders magnitude more work at much lower costs. WASM is the first thing from W3C I've seen that has any awareness of the fundamentals of quality software, and the epidemic of reusing ill-fit components and prematurely generalizing and abstracting is awful, including for security. I'm no expert there, but increasing the attack surface seems really bad, and yet that's exactly what the HTTPS standards are doing. Modern software...

You should absolutely look into Microsoft's office culture, especially the way they push "growth mindset" thinking after Satya Nadella became CEO. Ed Zitron just wrote an article on it that I thought was very interesting. Essentially, if employees ever disagree with their bosses, they are labeled as displaying a "fixed mindset" which signals to managers not to promote them. Agreeing with whatever bosses say is "displaying a growth mindset" and is the only way to rise up in the company or even keep your job.
Who would have thought that running a company by pure greed would attract bad players to take the top positions? The only thing keeping them relevant is them keeping the OS market hostage. I'm a making my move to Linux, since I heard most games are compatible right now. That's my 2025 new years resolution.
Win7 was an excellent consumer experience but it was the first iteration that started removing powers from Super Users. XP was the last bastion of true freedom.
Used to work in corporate IT sales back when Microsoft brought out Windows 8; having to parrot their marketing bullshit to customers despite knowing what a step backwards it was killed me inside. And don't get me started on Adobe's transition to a monthly subscription model.

@@friedcatfoodIt's not a monopoly because Microsoft isn't actively stopping, or preventing you from installing another OS on your PC. More than that, that's not how monopolies work.
@@Game4Lord The new Snapdragon Windows laptops are locked to Windows, and multiple Windows updates have been breaking other OS installs. Also, legally, a vendor is considered a monopoly when it controls a large majority of a market.

If the vast majority of PC games weren’t so heavily reliant on Windows then I’d probably just use Linux at this point. Using a Steam Deck in Desktop mode has been a religious experience
I would use linux for my gaming PC if it could run every game that Windows could, and just as well. I would even pay $500 for a Valve-engineered Linux OS that can only run Steam and a browser, and that's not a joke. I paid for Windows 10 Pro so I could disable updates. I still cannot disable updates.
I got tired of fighting Windows and jumped ship to Linux a few years ago and I just can't recommend it enough. I'm using Fedora now, it works well and stays out of my way. I'm never going back to Windows.
The reason so many people flock to Steam on PC, too, is that Steam is just that good of a service. Anyone else is either filling a completely different niche (gog), or try to compete with Steam, without understanding what Steam is, like with Tim Sweeney looking at steam and thinking "hmm they take a 30% cut from game sales so i will ask for less and pretend i'm some sort of saviour" without understanding that the 30% cut goes back into building the steam ecosystem to be as robust and consumer friendly as possible.
Tbf, a lot of people don't understand that the majority of profits for most businesses get reinvested into making the business better or more consistent, and they think that the owners just pocket the money. So I can understand why some people praise Tim Cook like a savior. Like, as much as I talk bad about the IRL Lex Luthor himself, Jeff Bezos, his wealth is in assets from how well Amazon does, while his official salary is only 80k or something. The better the business does, the more it's worth, and by extension the more value it's owner is if said business is publicly traded. Is he the 2nd richest man on earth (or something like) yeah. Does he ocassionally sell off some stocks to buy a big fricken boat? Yeah definitely. Probably even takes bonuses based on how well the company has performed in the year if he feels business was especially booming. But I can also guarantee that 90+% of Amazon's yearly profits gets reinvested into the company to expand into other territories, open new warehouses, protect against loss in the next year, etc. A lot of people look at owners of bug companies as moustache twirling villains looking to take everyone's money for themselves. In some cases that's true, like Microsoft and probably Epic, but Gaben loves videogames too much. The man could sell all of Valve and probably be fine for a few generations of decent spending practices, but he doesn't do it because he loves the industry and wants it to succeed. And that's clearly evident by how he talks about the current state of gaming
@@jormiloseverything you said was wrong. Valve is the exception not the standard to a business where CEOS, executives and investors pocket most of the money. Attitudes like that let’s CEOS just pocket more money
Also no one wants to accept the fact those 30% is what makes people like me able to play on Linux and escape Microsoft's deathly EEE. I'll gladly take that over Swiney's "12% + your soul and credit card number being sold to China".
My final straw was when they had the update with captures on xbox that deleted anything after 90 days that was not saved to one drive. I had around 80 hours of clips and footage with old friends on my console's hard drive that I wanted to keep. I had footage 2016-2023 and it was all deleted while my console was plugged in while in sleep mode. Anything saved locally was gone and was infuriating after playing my console for the first time in months.
There is an irony to a video that starts by talking about over designed software, that only gets worse over time, slipping into an opera GX ad, but my mans gotta get that paper. And I respect that. Great video.
Omg I had the same thought. Opera GX ads are really starting to get on my nerves. Not a god damned one of these RUclipsrs who promote it use it, because it’s the most unnecessary service of all time. Google does what it’s supposed to at the very least. I don’t need it to have a tacky cyberpunk layout and play fart sounds whenever I alt+tab. Google can absolutely do those things anyway. Search engines peaked and there’s nowhere to go from that.
The craziest thing about software being shitty on windows is that the ancient win32 api AND the slightly less ancient Winforms enable developers to make flawless, lightning fast native applications in real programming languages... and almost nobody, including Microsoft, use these anymore. It has to be cross platform bloat written in a web development language. So why even use windows at that point?
that's half the reason Linux is so usable, mainstream web browsers run just fine including _Edge_ of all things. If you don't like Libreoffice or its alternatives you can run MS Office in your browser, and I'm sure it's the same for most other applications. Not everything ofc, but enough that a lot of people can get by using mobile operating systems and Linux and whatever else.
but powerapps is a great! i like my start menu taking a measurable time to open and display literally any information, thank you very much. lag and unresponsiveness should be intrinsic to any digital experience because they give the end-user joy and happiness! when my punch-out isn't registered because the microsoft-made timekeeping *PowerApp* doesn't check if i'm still logged in before presenting the interface, allowing me to interact with it, and reporting a successful 'punch submitted' message... god i'm just so happy
Winforms/WPF apps also run perfectly fine under Wine these days. And Wine supports macOS, Linux, and even Android if you work your ass off set that one up under Termux.
Incredible timing for this considering that after 2000 people were laid off from Microsoft this year alone, jobs gone, livelihoods in jeopardy during one of the worst periods of tech layoffs in years, the news broke that their CEO received a 63% increase in his pay. These corporations are not your friend, people.
That's very misleading framing. Microsoft currently employs about 80,000 people MORE than they did just five years ago, with a net increase of about 7,000 over last year
The Steam Deck convinced me that Linux is finally good enough for gaming, so I switched my desktop to Linux (Pop!_OS) and was pleasantly surprised to find most games actually running even smoother than before. We are witnessing the slow death of Windows, and I'm all for it.
Nice. I've been dual booting pop for many years now. Windows just has a tiny partition on a spare drive. Everything else is Linux. I understand that most people don't want to troubleshoot issues that *may* arise with Linux, but tbh if you're used to troubleshooting windows bs, it's quite a breeze after you get some fundamentals down with the terminal.
Valve bankrolling TF out of developing Proton after the failure of Steam Machines has got to be the one of best things to happen for casual Linux users. Now if only they can make an official release of Steam OS 3 for non-Steam Deck devices...
I'm a system administrator mainly working with the Microsoft ecosystem, it sucks but you learn to embrace it..

And after we did the Microsoft repair thing for the prior one, he put out our now 2nd 360 in the living room so he could replay Halo 2 Legendary over and over again.
Microsoft is going to name their next console the "Original First X-box" for maximum confusion and so you can't reference their first console ever again.
Your rant about windows 11 is exactly how I feel every time I use it. And I use it almost every day for work. I refuse to update my current PC from windows 10, but those chucklehucks at Microsoft keeps asking despite me saying no every time. And they're getting sneaky with it too. Hiding the no button in super small print and making the yes button 2 yes buttons to confuse the masses. I DON'T WANT YOUR LOUSY UPDATE MICROSOFT, LEAVE ME ALONE.
To me this exemplifies their current business strategies, they’re much more interested in manipulating you to make decisions that they want you to make rather than making their products actually good.
I’ve been avoiding 11 for my main gaming pc, from the sound of it I should probably keep doing that. Jokes on them for my old laptop though, apparently my lappy is good enough to run just about any modern game, but doesn’t meet the qualifications for 11. Begs the question, how can I run Fallout 4 with maxed out settings but I can’t run Wimbows 11? (Yes I know Fallout 4 is hardly new but still)
@@Copperyfoxx One of the reasons that kinda makes sense if you squint hard enough is the TPM chip they need for bitlocker and security gimmicks (Windows and security, HA! 😂). The other reason is they arbitrarily decided to not support older CPU's, possibly due to the first reason but I don't recall the details atm. You can disable most if not all of the requirements for the installer and it will work fine but if you must do that then you might as well choose the penguin.
@@Copperyfoxxwell eventually you'll have 2 options, pay for security updates for 10, or jump ship to Linux. I encourage you to dual boot and get your feet wet with it. Linux is easier to use than ever before, even if you need to run Windows software.
I'll install Windows 11 if they ever finish it. There are still so many missing features there's even a dedicated Wikipedia article for it. I used to follow the dev process back when it was in early access where all of the bug reports for missing features had "we're actively working on it" responses. Then they released it to the public without fixing any of the bugs and just closed all of the tickets with "it's too hard, so we've given up". Years later and none of those missing features returned despite massive backlash, but you bet they added a thousand new "features" nobody asked for and everyone wants gone. Modern Microsoft is so incompetent they can't figure out how their basic OS features worked.

I lost my account because it was associated with my dads email, and I never got the memo. When I wanted to play again recently I just said "screw it" and used Ultimmc to play modded 1.7.10 on linux. Its almost as if Microsoft never purchased it... almost.

Microsoft's obsession with subscription services has also gotten really bad. A lot of tech companies in general have realized that making products that are actually better than what they already had is only getting harder and harder, so the best way to make money is to no longer allow you to own their products and instead force you to pay a subscription fee. You *can* still buy Microsoft Office software as like a one-time purchase so you can actually own the software and not just have to pay rent on it forever, but they REALLY fucking hide that option as best as they can. Even Gamepass, as good a deal as it may seem at first, is ultimately just another way that big tech companies are trying to prevent you from actually owning the things you pay money for, made even funnier by the fact that Microsoft has admitted they have lost money by putting big games on Gamepass. It isn't even something that makes them money but they're still so committed to it, all because Phil Spencer basically went "Nah, I'd win" to every other person at Xbox telling him it was a bad idea.
Are you complaining about nothing? First you said Office 365 is a bad subscription. But you can get a one-time pay version released every 2-3 year. Then you complained about Game Pass. But you can buy all the games in that service. So, what are you really complaining about? The things you said after that is not true at all. Do you think Microsoft would let a service losing them money to continue? Many people where game prices are very high use Game Pass for few months and unsubscribe later. It enables more people to play things they wouldn't have purchased. I don't know how someone can deem it as something bad.

On top of the valid points you raised…
Microsoft moved the windows button AND made it change position based on how many windows you have open. It’s a UI sin.
They also removed/moved the calendar from the bottom right that I use at least a couple times a week for work.
By default, edge overrides your alt+tab behaviour to include BROWSER TABS. No other program does this.
These are just three things that annoy me on the daily while using windows 11 and I can’t change them because my company resets the windows computers I use to a default image nightly.

The weirdest thing about the Teams app (which I have for work) is how every time it opens it's like "hey are you tired of the latest version of this app? We can switch you back to the old one instead?" and I keep saying no, but it keeps asking. Why are they so down on the latest version of their own app?

@@ORLY911 You just reminded me of the nightmare i had to go through with onedrive last month. I accidently left 6 react projects on my desktop (they contain node-modules which notoriously take a super long time to copy or delete).
Windows decided to back it up to one-drive, delete it from desktop, re-appears 30 minutes later, delete it from desktop again, re-appears 30 minutes later, delete it from one drive, now delete from desktop, 30 minutes later re-appears again (because it took so long to delete from onedrive, it literally resynced the files to onedrive as a new instance). It literally filled up my entire hard-drive's recycle bin folder with the same trash files over and over.
Had an absolute field day trying to figure out how to both, delete from desktop and one drive, and most importantly STOP IT FROM SYNCING AUTOMATICALLY, took me mutliple hours, spanning over multiple days, just to figure out. I am a computer scientist and software engineer and still struggled.

Windows feels progressively more and more convoluted.

It's all flat and soulless. Barely recognizable.
Windows 7 was Windows at its peak, honestly. It was all downhill from there.
Getting rid of rounded edges was a massive step backwards too. At least 11 brought that back. There's a psychological reason rounded edges work better in UI, it's less demanding on your brain to process because in nature sharp edges are kind of rare. This is why warnings will use them, like stop signs and triangular signs etc. Apple knew this all the way back in 1984 which is why even the very first Mac OS UI had them despite being incredibly computationally expensive to render at the time. Sharp edges everywhere is fatiguing on your eyes.
@@electric7487 Peronsally I think Windows 2000 was the peak. It was the last "pure" experience before they tried to mash together the NT and DOS kernels together, along with the "business" and "home" interface designs respectively.

You can still drill through 30 years worth of UI design from brand new to Windows 3.0/NT3 based interface using something like control panel and its various guises.

Gabe and some of the other Valve founders being ex-Microsoft probably helped them anticipate this stuff.

Cybersecurity analyst here, as much as I love dogging on Microsoft Edge, practically every browser has similar vulnerabilities across the board. If there's a vulnerability with Electron or Chromium then you can expect that vulnerability to apply to a vast majority of browsers. Hell, one year Chrome reported over 5 high-risk CVEs
Yeah isn't it hilarious that he literally promotes Opera GX in this video? Like, way to invalidate your own point for a few bucks
the only true browser that doesn't have this issue is Firefox since it's not chromium based, yes it can have it's own vulnerabilities, but when they happen they don't affect every other browser since, you know, it is it's own thing
Low-level performance-aware CS programmer here, and the entire web "stack" is full of awful foundational technology ripe for innovation.

You should absolutely look into Microsoft's office culture, especially the way they push "growth mindset" thinking after Satya Nadella became CEO. Ed Zitron just wrote an article on it that I thought was very interesting. Essentially, if employees ever disagree with their bosses, they are labeled as displaying a "fixed mindset" which signals to managers not to promote them. Agreeing with whatever bosses say is "displaying a growth mindset" and is the only way to rise up in the company or even keep your job.
Who would have thought that running a company by pure greed would attract bad players to take the top positions?

If the vast majority of PC games weren’t so heavily reliant on Windows then I’d probably just use Linux at this point. Using a Steam Deck in Desktop mode has been a religious experience
I dual boot, the only thing I use windows for is gaming at this point. If I really need Microsoft office I can just use it in browser
I used to use Linux but I missed Ms paint and Wordpad and notepad. Yes there's alternatives, but nothing identical
rn the games that dont work on linux are quite rare outside of competitive online games
I would use linux for my gaming PC if it could run every game that Windows could, and just as well. I would even pay $500 for a Valve-engineered Linux OS that can only run Steam and a browser, and that's not a joke.
I paid for Windows 10 Pro so I could disable updates. I still cannot disable updates.
I got tired of fighting Windows and jumped ship to Linux a few years ago and I just can't recommend it enough. I'm using Fedora now, it works well and stays out of my way. I'm never going back to Windows.
The reason so many people flock to Steam on PC, too, is that Steam is just that good of a service. Anyone else is either filling a completely different niche (gog), or try to compete with Steam, without understanding what Steam is, like with Tim Sweeney looking at steam and thinking "hmm they take a 30% cut from game sales so i will ask for less and pretend i'm some sort of saviour" without understanding that the 30% cut goes back into building the steam ecosystem to be as robust and consumer friendly as possible.
Tbf, a lot of people don't understand that the majority of profits for most businesses get reinvested into making the business better or more consistent, and they think that the owners just pocket the money. So I can understand why some people praise Tim Cook like a savior. Like, as much as I talk bad about the IRL Lex Luthor himself, Jeff Bezos, his wealth is in assets from how well Amazon does, while his official salary is only 80k or something. The better the business does, the more it's worth, and by extension the more value it's owner is if said business is publicly traded. Is he the 2nd richest man on earth (or something like) yeah. Does he ocassionally sell off some stocks to buy a big fricken boat? Yeah definitely. Probably even takes bonuses based on how well the company has performed in the year if he feels business was especially booming. But I can also guarantee that 90+% of Amazon's yearly profits gets reinvested into the company to expand into other territories, open new warehouses, protect against loss in the next year, etc.
A lot of people look at owners of bug companies as moustache twirling villains looking to take everyone's money for themselves. In some cases that's true, like Microsoft and probably Epic, but Gaben loves videogames too much. The man could sell all of Valve and probably be fine for a few generations of decent spending practices, but he doesn't do it because he loves the industry and wants it to succeed. And that's clearly evident by how he talks about the current state of gaming

The craziest thing about software being shitty on windows is that the ancient win32 api AND the slightly less ancient Winforms enable developers to make flawless, lightning fast native applications in real programming languages... and almost nobody, including Microsoft, use these anymore. It has to be cross platform bloat written in a web development language. So why even use windows at that point?
that's half the reason Linux is so usable, mainstream web browsers run just fine including _Edge_ of all things. If you don't like Libreoffice or its alternatives you can run MS Office in your browser, and I'm sure it's the same for most other applications. Not everything ofc, but enough that a lot of people can get by using mobile operating systems and Linux and whatever else.

Your rant about windows 11 is exactly how I feel every time I use it. And I use it almost every day for work. I refuse to update my current PC from windows 10, but those chucklehucks at Microsoft keeps asking despite me saying no every time.
And they're getting sneaky with it too. Hiding the no button in super small print and making the yes button 2 yes buttons to confuse the masses. I DON'T WANT YOUR LOUSY UPDATE MICROSOFT, LEAVE ME ALONE.
To me this exemplifies their current business strategies, they’re much more interested in manipulating you to make decisions that they want you to make rather than making their products actually good.
I’ve been avoiding 11 for my main gaming pc, from the sound of it I should probably keep doing that. Jokes on them for my old laptop though, apparently my lappy is good enough to run just about any modern game, but doesn’t meet the qualifications for 11.

@@Copperyfoxx One of the reasons that kinda makes sense if you squint hard enough is the TPM chip they need for bitlocker and security gimmicks (Windows and security, HA! 😂).

You can disable most if not all of the requirements for the installer and it will work fine but if you must do that then you might as well choose the penguin.
@@Copperyfoxxwell eventually you'll have 2 options, pay for security updates for 10, or jump ship to Linux. I encourage you to dual boot and get your feet wet with it. Linux is easier to use than ever before, even if you need to run Windows software.
I'll install Windows 11 if they ever finish it. There are still so many missing features there's even a dedicated Wikipedia article for it.
I used to follow the dev process back when it was in early access where all of the bug reports for missing features had "we're actively working on it" responses. Then they released it to the public without fixing any of the bugs and just closed all of the tickets with "it's too hard, so we've given up". Years later and none of those missing features returned despite massive backlash, but you bet they added a thousand new "features" nobody asked for and everyone wants gone.
Modern Microsoft is so incompetent they can't figure out how their basic OS features worked.

Microsoft's obsession with subscription services has also gotten really bad. A lot of tech companies in general have realized that making products that are actually better than what they already had is only getting harder and harder, so the best way to make money is to no longer allow you to own their products and instead force you to pay a subscription fee. You *can* still buy Microsoft Office software as like a one-time purchase so you can actually own the software and not just have to pay rent on it forever, but they REALLY fucking hide that option as best as they can. Even Gamepass, as good a deal as it may seem at first, is ultimately just another way that big tech companies are trying to prevent you from actually owning the things you pay money for, made even funnier by the fact that Microsoft has admitted they have lost money by putting big games on Gamepass. It isn't even something that makes them money but they're still so committed to it, all because Phil Spencer basically went "Nah, I'd win" to every other person at Xbox telling him it was a bad idea.
The subscriptions are a reminder we should live offline more :troll:
Welcome to tech in 2024. Everything-as-a-service, everything for a recurring monthly fee
Are you complaining about nothing?
First you said Office 365 is a bad subscription. But you can get a one-time pay version released every 2-3 year.
Then you complained about Game Pass. But you can buy all the games in that service.
So, what are you really complaining about? The things you said after that is not true at all. Do you think Microsoft would let a service losing them money to continue?
Many people where game prices are very high use Game Pass for few months and unsubscribe later. It enables more people to play things they wouldn't have purchased. I don't know how someone can deem it as something bad.
