the 16-bit Windows on Windows subsystems, which allowed 32-bit versions of Windows to directly run 16-bit DOS and Windows programs

Jesus, what a scam. Why does anyone put up with this?

Windows 11 only comes in 64 bit flavors so this would be a weird feature to leave in place.

I'm not using any software that doesn't have an upward swipe gesture for jumplists. How can people stand losing features like this?

I'm also gonna sarcastically cherry-pick!

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Are you? I didn't see it. If you're trying to make the opposite point, why don't you cherry pick the other way. Let's see what you've got or if this headline is just bullshit.

I'm currently running 50/50 windows/Ubuntu. I'm no Windows fanboy. But I'm also a software dev and I understand deprecating useless shit, something Windows doesn't do much of.

IMO, the Windows Subsystems is kind of cool. WSL 1 used it too.
