Basing all of your hate against Microsoft on WebView2 and React Native seems incredibly illogical so here was my experience for comparison:
Office365
No, they didn't rewrite Office in TypeScript.
File explorer and the notification center
This statement is a blatant lie.
The file explorer and the notification center are not electron.
I have attached a videoยน of this experience on my personal system running a 3060ti and i5 14600k with 32gb of DDR5 ram. For context here are the results from Steam hardware surveysยฒ. The most used GPU for Jan 2026 was the 4060.
Taskbar and Menu
Neither the taskbar nor the start menu are built in React (or any web/javascript framework). The only portion that does use React is the "Recommended" section of the start menu that can be disabled.
Also what ads? Press the Win key, screenshot it and circle in red what you define as "advertisement".
Copilot forced in
While I agree copilot in notepad is unnecessary, itโs also shoved way in the corner. I havenโt gotten any pop ups asking me to use it and it wasnโt until recently that I realised it was even there.
I donโt use paint so I canโt speak to its effects there but I imagine it offends a great number of artists.
Windows Search
Reindex your files. You had the smarts to write this tweet you can easily press a button to reindex your files. Or get this: remember where you put the files. Naming your files in a format where you canโt remember their purpose is bad practice anyway.
Widgets Section Performance
SteamWebHelper at idle uses more resources. The load you're seeing is it initializing things but after the first 2-3 seconds it drops. For an apples to apples comparison, log the resource load of apps starting up.
I have attached 3 images in the thread. One is the startup loadยณ and one its while its closed/not visible on screenโด.
Task Manager
Forloop does not define what "dosen't work" means.
I suspect this is intentional since there have been no major bugs other than one that was recently that has already been resolved.
As far as I can tell Task Manager has been funtioning the exact same.
Support forums
Those people aren't employees you know that right? Anybody can comment and provide "solutions" to the forums. If you think someone is being intentionally malicous, report them. It should also be noted that the average user ALSO dosen't know what Win32 is. Some troubleshooting steps that may seem like common sense to us may as well be sorcery to the majority of Windows users.
Your comment section
I have attached an image of as many comments as my sizing fits. The default size for most users is much larger and they will generally only see the checkmarked responses upon opening the tweet. It dosen't shock me that the first 4 comments which are checkmarked are negativity clickbaits (since hating on Microsoft is basically free likes) and the next 2 which are all non checkmarks provide either USEFUL SOLUTIONS or provide imporant context.
I have observed that most "privacy" creators (on all platforms but especially on X, YouTube and LinkedIn) tend to mislead (or lie) about the products that they support or promote. Unfortunately this is what the technology industry has come to: Who can lie better. One lies for sales the other lies for clicks. Some lie for the companies some lie against the companies. While I understand the gist of the original post is "AI in production is bad" and to some extent I agree that its bad if unmoderated, this dosen't automatically write off all existing work as "AI" just because you don't like it. Unverified performance assumptions are just that. To proclaim that one users degraded performance will be reflected on all users is malicious at best and disinformation at worst. Just test it yourself.
I hate that Microsoft might be vibecoding Windows, but it's inevitable
microsoft laid off everyone who knows how c works so now they just prompt gpt 5 to fix the codebase. 30% of windows is written by ai. that is why your printer drivers were deleted to make room for 4gb of copilot telemetry
they rewrote office in typescript. file explorer and the notification center are now just bloated electron instances that take 3 seconds to render a right click menu
the taskbar and start menu were rebuilt from scratch in react just to shove ads and "recommended" bloatware in your face. it uses more ram than world of warcraft did in 2004
copilot is being forced into notepad and paint. they are forcing you to test it in your basic tools
windows search isn't looking for your files. it's a bing wrapper designed to sell you a microsoft 365 subscription while you're desperately trying to find a local pdf
the widgets section is another bloat that nobody asked for. edge webview was designed to keep your cpu usage high enough that you're forced to switch to linux
over all of that, the task manager barely works in the latest updates
nobody at microsoft knows what "win32" means anymore. they replaced their support forums with an ai that just tells you to "try restarting" if your kernel panics
