Microsoft trying to figure out name of future failed product so blowback is limited.

How about "Lunette". It's Windowy.
Unless you Google it....the first few results won't be window-related.

Bur what about the ICON!!!!!
And the COLOUR SCHEME!!!!!
The NAME, the ICON, and the COLOUR SCHEME are THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF ANY SOFTWARE PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!
That's why the geniuses at ms are ignoring trivial* things like customer requirements, product quality, and bug reports: they're spending all their time an effort on the most important elements.

"Windows Dad Says His New Laptop Is Broken v3"?
v3 because a chromebook he bought without reading what was on the box was v1 (which came with a bonus feature of eating 25% of dataplan in its first 2 hours - he's a trucker got it on the road and it doesn't understand metered plans), and "Windows Ten Five" was v2; and with no apparent way to get out of Windows 10 Stupid mode without creating an MS Store account the odds of him ever figuring out and fixing it on his own were just about nill.

A big design effort across the company Gotta rearrange those deck chairs now! (/sigh)

"I just found a fatal error in Windows"
"Does it affect the icons?"
"No"
"Then it doesn't matter."
(Conversely, if a bug was discovered where the new icon wasn't being displayed, Microsoft would probably announce a three month freeze in all development to fix that one problem.)

Sure, redesign the icons and the GUI will still be awful.
I think they should give us the option to have the W7 GUI in W10. In my opinion their GUIs have been in a steady and steep decline since W7. I'm not sure I worded that right so I'll restate it: I really like W7's GUI and XP also and I don't like any of the newer ones at all.

You have that option.
It's called Classic Shell [^].
I feel sad for people who don't already have it installed.

Yes, I have that but it's not quite the same. The GUI is still butt-ugly even with CS installed.

hate the new office icons. really can't tell what half of them mean.
edit: actually, it's mainly the 'quick access toolbar' in excel...

Things that make me go "Hmmmm". As the slow moving train wreck of continuous updates plods toward the Bridge Out sign, we get this. I suppose its the Office team, but still.

According to OpsRamp’s recent Cloud Skills Survey, this skills gap crisis is inhibiting innovation, impacting productivity, and affecting revenue growth. Need more heads in clouds
|
|
|
|
|
The problem seems obvious to me. If it requires cloud-native skills then they did not design their cloud correctly. A correct design would not need any specific skills.
|
|
|
|
|
With the exception of, "able to navigate the Azure/AWS config screens", I agree.

Okay, then different headline.
(However, if things go to plan, the new Azure icons will sure be slick.)

Still easier than trying to figure out how much cloud you need to buy for your app to run well.

As a programmer looking for a job, you need to be on the lookout for badly managed companies. Whether it’s malicious exploitation or just plain incompetence, the less time you waste applying for these jobs, the better. So is, 'Contents under pressure'

Caution - don't shake or leave in direct sunlight. Always good safety tips. Appropriate here too.

Damn! I almost got run over by a bus, just!
Does anyone know what I can do to avoid that?

Ride the bus - it can't run you over if you are on it!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Is it better to be run over by a bus or be thrown under it?

A little over 4 years ago Microsoft announced that they were open sourcing large parts of the .NET framework and as this slide from New Features in .NET Core and ASP.NET Core 2.1 shows, the community has been contributing in a significant way Time flies when you're sending pull requests
At the very least, downloading all the version updates for .NET Core
