We're working on LTSC and it's relatively smooth. If you must or want to use 11, pick this version.

Unfortunately I have no say in IT decisions, otherwise it would be an option.

I hate IT almost as much as I hate W11 as they seem to delight in getting in my way as much. The only correct decision they ever made is running part of our server infrastructure off Linux. But ask our average jeet IT fuck about Linux and you hear the pause as they vaguely recall hearing about it once at the Hyderabad School of Magic and Microsoft Certification.
 
I use a usb-c hub at home for multi monitor out and peripherals on my laptop. I don't know if it's a recent windows update or what but now when I unplug the laptop it still thinks the external monitors are connected and doesn't default back to the laptop screen. I have to plug the dock back in and unplug and it works the second time you unplug it.

I hate windows 11 so fucking much.

The interesting thing is that Windows 11 was not nearly this bad when it released. People forget because it was disliked at launch, but alot of those complaints were over things like taskbar placement. Minor changes that people will always bitch about but will realistically adapt to. I even would argue it had some decent improvements, like adding tabs to notepad and the file explorer, which were small but nice QoL additions. People dislike change, but it was really just more Windows 10 with a different skin.

Somewhere over the past few years, Id say around 23H2 or 24H2, it has gotten astronomically worse. Windows always had some issues, Ive seen most installs slow down over time, get small bugs due to weird registry mismatches, etc. But over the past few iterations there are constant reports of serious bugs, and even clean installations have immediate issues. MS is also constantly fucking the customer with poor decisions and AI marketing gimmicks. Complete and utter trash fire.

Sounds about right. Microsoft eliminated dedicated QA roles in 2014. When you've got an established product, after you fire a bunch of people with deep knowledge of your systems and processes, it takes 5-10 years for serious problems to show up. Full time dedicated testers found ways to break my code in ways I never dreamed of. Add in firing experienced people, which Microsoft has done in waves since 2023, because jeets and AI are cheap, and it's a recipe for slow-rolling disaster. By the time the real problems show up, it can't be fixed, not really. You can only hold it together while you build a new org over a few years.

Just want to repeat how hateworthy the Intuit and QuickBooks teams are.

I'm convinced Intuit only cares about hardcore QuickBooks users such as CPA firms and large corporations. Everyone else is insignificant in their eyes as shown in their new subscription tiers and fees.

It's been many years since I've met a younger guy who even seems interested in going deeper to learn for the sake of learning. They all want a tool or dashboard you can buy to fix the problem. And don't get me started on how none of them automate shit.

Today is all about being flashy and glitzy. Everyone wants to see a fancy dashboard with at-a-glance vital data. What they don't understand is the importance of having a solid simple foundation underneath that layer i order to make the flashy stuff work properly and efficiently. It also doesn't help that efficient coding is probably not taught anymore with memory being so plentiful and relatively cheap today compared to years past.

They don’t use Quickbooks. They use dedicated accounting software. Quickbooks is used by small CPA shops and small businesses who bookkeep themselves. Quickbooks doesn’t scale well.

Don't you mean Wordpad? Or is Notepad now Wordpad?
Click to expand...
I'm not on Windows 11 myself but I recall they removed Wordpad completely from Windows 11.
Edit: To answer your question, the new Windows 11 Notepad is pretty much Wordpad and more. And by more apparently it means more things like CVEs and other wonderful surprises :lol:

I assume by original Win32 Notepad @George Lucas meant the original Notepad that came with Windows 10 and was just a plain simple text editor.

Yes that one. How do you fuck up a basic text editor? Why does Notepad even need to render Markdown? The whole point of Markdown is that it’s presentable in a plain text editor.

They shouldn’t have taken a hacksaw to the company and replaced Americans with jeets while completely neglecting anything that isn’t related to AI.

The explosion in generative AI demonstrates one thing, Satya and his golden Brahmin thread can’t save him from being a jeet and shitting everything up. All of the cloud stuff was a follow on to what Ballmer started. AI is the first real industry shift under Satya’s direction and he’s failing miserably.

He makes millions, hires his friends, takes a nuclear bomb to the company culture, takes everything for himself, shits everything up and sets the company up for failure.

pretty much this. Couldn’t have put it better.

In short, Microsoft is now the designated shitting street.

I think I remember saying these exact words back in the 1990s, ha ha. I remember having to write applications for computers with kilobytes of memory.
