Microsoft Windows 11 never feels fast and zippy, not even on the most capable hardware out there.
✍️ I do not recommend anyone to install Windows for personal use anymore.
It’s 2026 and Microsoft Teams still feels uninspiring and lifeless. Ironic for a mass communication tool.
✍️ I do not recommend anyone to use MS Teams.
Microsoft is burning bridges. Both Microsoft and NVIDIA are doing a disservice to gamers.
Playing games on Windows is a pain we only put up with because there weren’t worthy alternatives. That has changed in recent years.
AAA games that work on Mac or SteamOS are a much, much better experience to just play and enjoy.
Microsoft and NVIDIA need to get their act together. Everything in the world doesn’t revolve around Azure services or greedily configured, weirdly priced AI hardware.
The reason Windows became so dominant is because many of us grew up with it. It was cheap, not walled, and we could do whatever we wanted. It was fun. Eventually, when we grew up, we adopted it at work because of that long relationship and familiarity.
Today, Windows caters almost exclusively to cloud services and enterprises. It doesn’t feel welcoming to personal users. Memory management is bonkers. Power management is so poor it has practically ruined the Windows laptop ecosystem. Microsoft still doesn’t understand how sleep works on devices.
When everyone stops using Windows on their personal computers, will anyone still recommend it for work?
This is happening while Valve is perfecting SteamOS.
Here’s my prediction: if Microsoft doesn’t change its current trajectory, there’s nothing in the world that can save Windows in the long run. I’m talking 10–12 years. Give it one generation. This generation will grow up with Macs or SteamOS, and when they enter the workforce, they won’t feel the need to switch to Windows.
