Windows wird 40: Von der Lachnummer zum Quasi-Monopol – und zurück? - Jörg Schieb | Digital und KI
Am 20. November 2025 wird Windows 40 Jahre alt. Vier Jahrzehnte, in denen ein Betriebssystem die digitale Welt geprägt hat wie kaum ein anderes. Für viele von uns ist Windows so selbstverständlich wie Strom aus der Steckdose: Rechner an, Windows lädt, fertig. Doch wie alternativlos war Windows damals wirklich? Und…

Microsoft warns that Windows 11's agentic AI could install malware on your PC: "Only enable this feature if you understand the security implications"
Microsoft is pushing ahead with its plan to add agentic capabilities to Windows 11 but has issued an important security warning for anyone who is interested in trying it out.

Talking to Windows’ Copilot AI makes a computer feel incompetent
Microsoft is advertising its Windows Copilot AI as “the computer you can talk to.” How does that hold up to testing, and how does it track with CEO Satya Nadella’s ambitions?

When Microsoft said that windows 10 was the last version of windows, what they probably meant is that they fired all of the developers working on it, and the remaining ones they assigned to other stuff.
Otherwise I can't explain how broken windows is. Like my work laptop won't shut down anymore. The shut down button is broken. In multiple ways: it won't do anything, but if I alt-f4 on the desktop and select power off then it will start the shutdown sequence but never finish …

We've all seen wobbly windows on Linux. I think it's time for an upgrade: We need to make real-time cloth simulation windows a thing!

I am looking forward to my next hardware upgrades so I could contain Windows to a single PC that I'd absolutely need for Windows dependent stuff. I mean, now I am literally signed-in by default in Notepad?? And when I click my profile pic in its toolbar, it has one cheeky "Sign out" option??? I give up coping with this enshittified OS. Microsoft should pay me to use me as a research subject.

I tried to disable the "Game Bar" that pops up when you press Windows G... what a rabbit hole. I'm rarely on Windows and I know to stay away now. All search results on all those useless Windows sites are wrong. Microsoft removed the option to disable the hotkey from its system settings! On Windows Pro you could use a group policy. After some f-word-riddled Copilot prompting the bot admitted that there's no way to disable the hotkey except for editing the registry.

The main reasons for me to use Safari on macOS despite being behind on web standards is integration with its iOS siblings and performance.
However: bookmark sync is unreliable and relatedly reading list is so janky too that I switched to GoodLinks. And somehow the UI gets increasingly sluggish until I restart it like an old Windows system.
I guess it's time for an experiment.

Had to expand C:\ on a VM and I'm irritated that Windows, after decades, STILL doesn't have the built-in tooling in disk management to work around their recovery partition. You can't extend a partition if the space isn't contiguous, so you have to move the recovery partition.
