Name one thing MS did right

Wish I could expect more than a decent game controller from a leading software company.

>C#
The language, yes. As for the .NET framework, it's a hassle to work with.

Xbox One S controller \w bluetooth

Xbox One Elite controller

Surface Pro 4

Keyboards and mice

notepad was a killer

Ok, C#, .NET, VisualStudio (although it is resource hungry) - I can give them that. But this is where it stops.

Can I take .NET back?

Windows XP...I'm pretty sure it's just nostalgia

XP was pretty terrible, considering the quality of other operating systems at the time.

Fire Ballmer.

>decent game controller
What even is a decent game controller?
Sony's design isn't much better and they know it.
They even tried to change it once but everyone started screeching.

>What even is a decent game controller?
For me left analog position, actual analog triggers and overallshape makes it. Oh and they are durable and indestructible.

Windows 2k. It was better, that any OS at the time.

>post 360 controller
Worst thing I've ever touched, the dpad is cancer indusing
The one controller is good tho

besides them being cheap fucks and not putting in a rechargeable battery

Terminal server services (before 2007)
Windows NT4
They created SAMBA !
Excel and Access
The work they do in partnership with SUSE is excellent
Their work on the TCP protocols and the advancement of touchscreen devices

>indusing
Is that some kind of pajeet technical company?
Cancer indusing?

Wasn't the controller made by Scuff though?

Literally this. Csharp, WPF, and .NET framework were the only things they've done right since the release of windows XP

>what MS did right
I honestly can't think of anything. Even the few good things they've made are replaceable.

Notepad is a buggy and featureless pile of shit.

Switch Pro controller is great. DS3 is good too.

This fucker right here. OC'd to 1000 Hz of course.

...

>Xbox One

>NotePad
Literally garbage. Word wrap isn't on by default and it ignores Unix line endings.

Have you ever even tried out TextEdit.app? It's way better.

Unironically this.

i unironically like the win10 interface

I like the aesthetics, but they have to fix the usability problems and design consistency, which they are slowly doing as they phase in the new design to more and more parts of windows.

Why would anyone use your fag shit?

You do know what board you're on right?

Sadly the controller isn't even decent, it's "okay" at its best.

Dualshock is better.

Microsoft hardware is top tier. Windows Phone are one of the best build phones in the market, it's a shame their operating system is shit and there is no way to flash Android on them.

>Decent game controller
>Xbox controller
Pick one.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Great shitpost user. Really made me laugh!

Windows 7. It just works. Persons with archived drivers and software that horde Win 7 compatible hardware will still be using the OS for a very long time. Nufags today will be old fags 50 years from now and still be shitposting Windows 7.

directX

This, if you manage to get one that won't break in a month.

Eh, MS will manufacture some bullshit security flaw like 6 months after support for it ends.

A lot of things are good if you are playing the manufacturing defect lottery

I spent the 5 bucks for a 4 year warranty. So far, it's been a year and is still going strong, even after daily use.

what the fuck is up with their elite production?

>They created SAMBA !
...wut.

No they didn't...

Fuck if I know. If you get a good one, its a great controller, though.

sony... this was their controller redesign, and I would have screached too if I had to use that horrible design.

dualshock... its clearly made for the japanese, that thing is entirely too small.

what I want is a controller with tac switches for the dpad and buttons, long stems for the sticks, and an outer dead zone that is inside of the the outer perimeter.

I also want separate buttons for the joystick, one + just feels like crap.

moving Windows 10 to only UWP
pre-uwp is all essentially glorified DOS. As much as the tech "journalists" rage about this, it's time to move on from the 90s and make Windows a better normie OS

I too enjoy my software having several seconds of complete inactivity due a random garbage collector completely raping the system:

>XP was pretty terrible, considering the quality of other operating systems at the time.

UWP supports C++

Yes, so does a gameboy advance emulator.
But you still get gameboy advance performance out of it.

>xbox one
explain

Which controller are we talking about here? Because sony controllers have garbage triggers, the worst analog stick positions and the shape is easily the worst, but microsoft controllers are by far the most fragile controllers ever. I think I have 1 functional 360 controller still and I had to replace the control sticks on it whereas I've still got launch Wii Remotes, Gamecube controllers and a ps3 controller that work perfectly.
Admittedly, the ps3 controller was more paperweight than controller, but still.

Yeah this, fuck microsoft for not doing this. Also the trigger rumble meme is bad.

Fuck yes, this and it's brother the IME 3.0. Same guts, more comfortable grip + 2 thumb buttons

X360 controller is pretty glorious

What's wrong with the controller?
I've always found it far better than the Sony counterparts
>triggers are exquisite especially with brumbrum games
>red button quits, green button accepts
>analog sticks placement are perfect for my lefty autism
>just comfortable to hold

Every MS product sucks, except of course their vacuum cleaners which don't suck.

What arsthetics? Big fat white void in the taskbar leaving just some tiny space for showing your running programs.
Inconsistent.
Flat.

Yes, 1v1 me on the touge

Useless buggy, dysfunctional garbage.

Backwards compatibility.

>Xbox One Backward Compatibility
I wouldn't pride on that too much as it was virtually forced

Yes

...

As much as I hate Microsoft, the Xbox controllers are GOAT

They're shit.

The 360 controller desing was also made for the japanese, kind of.
strong westerners love THE DUKE

playstation controller is better.

Your dick is shit

excel

god tier software, literally no competition

They call it excel for a reason

As interesting as the PS4 Pro was when it arrived, the Xbone X is really what I would want in a same generation upgrade console. The hardware is notably beefed up, more than the PS4 Pro, and MS also chose to include support for 1440p monitors and Freesync

I've generally been able to avoid the shitty parts of the framework if you're just writing a library or console/GUI app, but I'll agree that dealing with any of the IIS/ASP.NET stuff fucking sucks. That's honestly what I'm most looking forward to about getting a chance to really use .NET Core on a fresh project; throw everything into a Docker image and fire it up like anything else.

too bad Microsoft forgot about the games
