I seem to be the only one that loves all the new AI features in Windows, but I understand why they are not for everyone, some folks just prefer classic Windows. To solve this all Microsoft has to do is when you run Windows for the first time, it should give you two options to pick from: Classic Mode (Everything stays the same like older windows, show classic control panels only, classic file explorer with classic right click context menu, classic start menu, classic notepad, classic paint like a windows 7 windows 11) or Modern Mode (Modern system apps with ai like the new notepad and paint, the new start menu, the new right click context menu, show the new control panel only not a mix of both.)
Also, telemetry and default apps like bing, onedrive, teams, copilot should be optional not preinstalled, I know Microsoft wants everyone to use them, but no apps should run at start up unless user requested it to. The first step to get users to use an app is building quality apps not shoving it down all users' throats and making them damn near impossible to remove without using powershell scripts.
I have more ideas that can help Microsoft. I just feel like since they are such a big corporation that it's hard to pay attention to the small details because there's so many people in the inside with different agendas that's pulling Windows into different directions and now it's turning into AI slop. When Microsoft went from Vista to Windows 7 it was like a breath of fresh air, it was the last Windows version where I remember everybody was satisfied when it was released, it was simple, fast and stable. I haven't had that feeling in a while so I'm looking to connect with someone that works in the Microsoft building in Miami. If you do and you see this, send me a message or maybe you can refer me to someone that can get these ideas to the right person so that we can actually see changes make Windows great again!
