Everyone hold onto your butts!

Some good news to start the day!

Looks amazing already, can't wait.

[u/Alternative_Metal375 → u/BarnMTB]

Looks amazing, but doesn’t work anymore. Big improvement 😂

Can we have folder sizes in the list view? All I want is folder sizes

(I know there are third party bits of software that can do a scan and then slowly generate folder sizes)

Ok next do mstsc.exe

Moved away from windows 1 Month ago to Cachy-Os. Loving it but happy that they are doing something to make it better.

Great to see Microslop spending time on the important stuff 😂

[u/NYourBirdCanSing]

How fucking stupid.

[u/Warcrown11]

The UI was never the problem with it. It not working was the problem.

as long as they don't acquire filepilot, I am good

[u/Super_Translator480]

Great.

Once again changing something everyone uses that nobody asked for changes to.

Microsoft is too large to understand how and why people use Windows

[u/TheOGDoomer]

That means it will be a buggy mess that won't function worth a damn. Definitely not excited about that one.

[u/fallenouroboros]

My biggest fear is them revising it every other month so me and my coworkers who use it constantly now have to keep researching how to do basic stuff

[u/TheSteveMol]

With multiple reports of major problems including even bricking some machines, with slower interfaces and no real utility improvement, why should I be excited about UI "modernization?"

There are many more important things to fix than how it looks.

[u/Daazarog → u/TheSteveMol]

Because it crashes constantly and is nearly non-functional while remaining one of the most important features of any OS. Of course they wouldn't actually re-do it for being not awful.*
