Windows "SUCKS": How I'd Fix it by a retired Microsoft Windows engineer

推荐理由

I find this take (from the guy who wrote the Windows task manager while at Microsoft) to be evenhanded.

说明

这是2025年由Dave's Garage发布的一部评论，主题归在Operating systems & kernels。它讲的是windows usability这一支里的具体问题，而不是把整个领域扫一遍。适合按兴趣直接看、不打算先补课的人。内容上可以概括成：Dave Plummer, a retired Microsoft engineer who wrote Task Manager, responds to the claim that Windows sucks. He describes how he would fix common annoyances, in what he calls a love letter to Windows wrapped in a rant.这些读者给出的理由，核心是：HN people share it in Windows 11 backlash threads as an even-handed insider's view of what is wrong with Windows.它更像一份当时的现场记录，适合了解那个节点的争论。从2025年到2026年，有3位不同的读者在3个不同月份把它推荐出来，其中明确叫别人去看的有0次。适合已经知道原事件、想听一种解读的人。把它当成观点，而不是教科书。如果已经会了基本定义，就把注意力放在它怎么把windows usability变成能跟着复述的例子。
