Windows 11 often requires new hardware. But that will be extremely pricey or have very little RAM for a while.

I dont believe that a single competent person works at Micro$oft anymore, but maybe maybe this could lead them to make a less shitty OS?

And garbage software like Adobe Creative Cloud too?

They obviously dont care about users, but the pain could become too big.

    Don’t blame programmers, they are (generally) nerds who would spend more time optimising than developing if allowed. The problem is companies want speed in development, that’s why you get electron apps- you build it once and deploy on web, mobile and desktop. Who cares if they hog GBs of RAM

      Exactly. Unless the CEO’s machine struggles with the app (or the top tier customer keeps nagging), optimizing anything gets pushed down the backlog. Sure, let’s create a followup ticket. And then cancel it in a year or two. If it runs, it runs. Good enough.
