Fuck modern Microsoft.

Windows > Linux > macOS

Was it better in the past?

90s Microsoft was far worse.

@Lensflare @donkulator MSFT at least had attention-to-detail n a Design Language that made Windows uniquely Windows (how good/bad it performed, is a diff discussion)
Nothing in today's MSFT looks like it was made with even an ounce of love or passion

Win11 is larping OSX and failing
Fluent UI is somehow more horrible than Material
Windows doesnt know what its primary App SDK is. UWP, Win32, WindowsAppSDK, WPF, somehow everything exists simultaneously n still gets mogged by Electron
Surface for consumers is pretty much dead (specially with Panos leaving)
IE-Edge gave up Trident-Chakra to use Chromium n be google's bitch

they're making money in B2B but dont give a fuck about consumer facing products now. And as someone who LOVED Microsoft, it's disheartening.

@azuredivay I was one of those suckers who had a Windows Phone lol.
Everything you say is true but 90s MS had different issues. MS was always bad, just different bad.

@Lensflare I had dem Lumia. The design of the OS was by far the best of the market.

@retoor I'm jealous, always wanted a windows phone but could never get one

@BordedDev the windows phone was great, the windows mobile was better to develop for. Development for windows phone was so fucked up. I think it's part why it failed.

Microsoft has never been good

MS brought hookers to the office in the 90s.

Microsoft is modern?

Fuck Microsoft since their beginning and until their end

@retoor development for windows phone wasn’t that bad, compared to android and ios, tbh.

@Lensflare I liked for windows mobile more. Plain c#.

@retoor same plain C# as Windows Phone :)

@Lensflare no no no no. They introduced weird gui stuff in windows phon
E with xml and shit.

@retoor xml has always been the main ui layout language after the WinForms era.

In WPF, UWP and I think MAUI too.
Also Silverlight, IIRC.

Xml is optional though, so you could write plain C# if you wanted.

Edit: forgot about Xamarin Forms, which was also XML/C#

@Lensflare anyway, I did quit development for it when windows phone came. I just didn't like it at all.

Ok done. What's next? What do I do next?

You mean Microshit
