The story has moved beyond the first headline and now acts as a reliable context anchor.
If you were eating in a restaurant and the head chef came out from the back multiple times to loudly proclaim that the kitchen was deeply committed to the quality of the food, would you find that reassuring? Or would you start wondering why the chef felt the need to keep saying it? That's the conundrum facing the Windows team at Microsoft right now. Windows VP Pavan Davuluri has gone on the record several times since the start of the year to insist that Microsoft is committed to Windows 11's quality, most recently in a post today titled "our commitment to Windows quality." Windows 11 is an operating system that many people use but that few enthusiasts seem to love, either because of recent high-profile bugs or the steadily increasing flow of annoying add-ons, notifications, "helpful" "reminders," and ads for other Microsoft products and services that coat most of the operating system's virtual surfaces. "Every day, we hear from the community about how you experience Windows," Davuluri wrote. "And over the past several months, the team and I have spent a great deal of time analyzing your feedback. What came through was the voice of people who care deeply about Windows and want it to be better."Read full article Comments
