Can it remove Contact Support and Windows Feedback?
Fun fact: "Zune" was never scrubbed from some of the names of these apps, the Films & TV crapware was (is?) still called "zunemusic" when you removed it with Powershell.
Though to be fair, we've all seen that kind of thing in the code and just left it well alone rather than pull on thr string and own the broken pieces you'll be handed for you trouble.
It's somehow horrifying that the unnaturally animated corpse of something that was so cool at the time like MSN Messenger lives on in an abomination like Teams.
Nothing much remains of the original protocol besides the name (MSNP), however; it started out being an IRC-like text-based protocol that MS even submitted to the IETF --- but never reached RFC status[1] --- but in its later years became gradually "XML-ized" and required more and more complexity in the client. The latest major revision of the protocol, which is also what the "new" Skype uses, is basically an HTTP API and thus most suited to being used in a browser, but definitely hinders those wanting to write a native client for it.
Yeah, I tried Win11, very MacOS, but if I wanted a Mac, I will buy a Mac, not a PC. So I uninstalled it and went back to Win10. Maybe by Win12 it should be good again.
Meh, I don't know. I don't use Windows all that much, mostly just for gaming and the odd day at work, besides that, I use Linux. As for the macOS comparison, I don't agree. Windows is much, much more annoying than macOS. Be it 10 or 11.
However, I don't get the hate on Windows 11. It has all the same annoyances Windows 10 did (random apps installed, random CPU spikes for no reason, etc). Yet I find it works much better. It feels much snappier and boots much quicker, even though the PC I usually use it on isn't supposed to be supported (old ivy bridge CPU, no TPM). And no, it's not because it's a fresh install. It actually is an upgrade from the previous Win 10 install.
I mean from the UI point of view. The new taskbar, or at least the one on the version I tried, is much more MacOS than Windows10. And the hate is because after so much work, half of the OS works in a new way, and the other half in the old way. That the new taskbar breaks all the flow from Windows 95 to today (I cannot have multiple icons for the same program), does not help.
That said, I don't get the hate on Windows. In my case, I have used many variants of Linux: Debian, Mandrake, Mandriva, Ubuntu, Mint, LFS, Suse, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, and I currently have the latest Redhat on my ThinkPad T460s. And while incredibly what the community has done, in the end I always felt that either I was missing something (Adobe, Autocad, WinRAR, hibernate, etc), or that everything was more complicated than using Windows which just works on all on my machines.
Again, I can use Linux if needed, and I am not afraid of other OSes (used DOS, BSD, OS/2, AIX, BeOS), but for my use case, Windows is much more stable, has the apps I need to use, and just works out of the box.
Maybe one day I will migrate to Linux if Microsoft continues f*cking up with it.
