Microsoft has officially admitted that core Windows 11 features are broken. This confirms user complaints, highlighting a quality control crisis as Microsoft prioritizes flashy AI over OS stability. A fix is promised, but without a timeline. Furthermore, Microsoft repeatedly expressed surprise on Twitter that users dislike integrated AI in the OS and Office apps, while requesting users to tone down aggression against employees on Twitter 😅 https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-finally-admits-almost-all-major-windows-11-core-features-are-broken/
