Internet Explorer is just a shell over MSHTML which is the core windows internal html renderer so its pretty much impossible to remove. I imagine they'll switch to webview2 which is the edge renderer in windows 11 and later.

i love that the default behaviour for "recommended" bundleware poo poo modern apps is to immediately re-install them if they've been removed. good job microsoft, that's definitely what the user intended when they manually removed the app. also excellent design: the three stage click through begging you to check out edge if you try to use anything else for one of its defaults. if i'm in preferences, apps, default apps, select defaults by app, and i've selected an app and i'm choosing the file type i want to change the default for, why are you popping up a prompt asking what app i'd like to use? what the gently caress do you think i've gone though this process to do exactly? what part of this is ambiguous and requires yet another prompt?

idk about contempt. i quite like edge (well, best out of a bad set of choices for my use case) but it's existence and it's attitude towards getting you to use it and a lot of its dumber features reeks of pathetic desperation. which is honestly worse.

microsoft's ux strategy of "jam toasts and notifications in the user's face that can't be trivially closed without engaging the tutorial process" is certainly a fun and well considered solution to the the problem of "we've rearranged the entire UI including all the commonly used features for the third time this quarter and people are getting mad"

It's not even the fact that the advertising integrated into the operating system pisses on my face so often and this is just accepted as a normal thing now that pisses me off, it's the fact that the ui text is just so loving chummy these days. But unfortunately that is not a problem limited to just Microsoft. Wait I'm lying the advertising absolutely pisses me off too. Which is why I Installed Linux when I built my new PC out of amd parts a year ago.

I'm assuming that one of us clicked the wrong pixel in a dark pattern pop-up, but still. (serves me right for not doing hunting down whatever registry key is required to permanently refuse it)

fun fact, if you use the "target version" windows update registry key in windows 10 and there is a windows 11 build with the same name (say 22h1) it will very happily install windows 11 anyway, and then never update past that build as long as the key is present

I have a new windows 11 machine at home and it sucks. can’t believe I had to use a registry command to get the old context menu back. that new one is awful. also if I have a folder with videos In it, windows explorer has to like index it each time I load it. the file names all disappear and then slowly reappear one by one. terrible. hmm let’s see, what else… oh yeah the start menu and it’s recommendations is probably the worst iteration of the windows start menu I’ve seen. at least the Lock Screen with the photo background now has text that reads “like the image you see?” instead of just “like what you see?” which sounded sleazy and gross. still think it could probably be shortened to “like this photo?” like a normal person might ask.
