Electron apps are ruining the Windows 11 experience, and even the JavaScript creator has warned against ‘rushed web UX over native,’ but it doesn’t look like that will change Microsoft’s plans. In a post on X and other places, Microsoft reaffirmed its commitment to AI in Windows 11 and encouraged Electron developers to consider using AI in their apps.

    Can thank Intel for that, they pressured MS to lower the documented requirements so they could sell more low-end hardware.

    Of course, MS executives also gladly went along with it, not like they're innocent in any way.

    Also Nvidia and their drivers caused issues, as usual.

    It was also a mess as there was a lot of confusion around "64-bit" and "32-bit" systems that even most retailers weren't sure how to describe. Dude it was entertaining talking to best buy his who weren't even sure how to explain it all and the compatibility issues.

    I didn't like Vista myself, but 8 seemed to be modernized enough and get away from Aero icons and glassy things.
