Windows 11 often requires new hardware. But that will be extremely pricey or have very little RAM for a while.

I dont believe that a single competent person works at Micro$oft anymore, but maybe maybe this could lead them to make a less shitty OS?

And garbage software like Adobe Creative Cloud too?

They obviously dont care about users, but the pain could become too big.

    I’m presuming you know nothing about programming because this is complete and utter nonsense.

      Well, the point and click part was a bit extreme. Still true in some rare cases, but actual programming still requires a keyboard.

      However the RAM thing is interesting. Haven’t actually written any code in the 70’s and 80’s, but what I’ve heard from people who did, RAM was a huge bottle neck. Well, pretty much everything was. Even the bandwidth between your terminal and the mainframe was a bottle neck that made you suffer.

      Back in those days, programmers were painfully aware of the hardware limitations. If you wanted your code to run within a reasonable amount of time, you absolutely had to focus on optimizing it.

          LabVIEW is definitely programming of some sort, but doesn’t feel at all like programming. Pretty marginal example, but still…

            Which suggests that they think teaching tools are how people actually program real software in the real world.

            There are GUI tools to script behavior in GUI game engine tools as well but this is only enabled by actual programmers producing the tools and most actual games have a shit ton of code that couldn’t have been scripted with the GUI as well.
