Small Talk? Best I Can Do Is Complaining About Microsoft

Content Software engineers from big tech firms like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta are paying at least 75,000 to get 3 inches taller, a leg-lengthening surgeon says

Behold, the digital graveyard of Microsoft's design choices! What started as innocent recycling bins has culminated in the prophetic vision that Microsoft Teams will be our ultimate trash receptacle by 2025. The evolutionary leap from functional waste basket to "that app where your boss forces you to have awkward virtual happy hours" is simply *chef's kiss*. Remember when we just deleted files instead of scheduling meetings about them? Good times. The 2015 trash icon was the last pure one—simple, functional, not trying to integrate with your calendar or suggest emoji reactions to your garbage.

Internet Explorer's sole purpose in life has been reduced to downloading other browsers. The little blue 'e' desperately seeks validation—"Hey does anyone need me?"—only to be met with cold rejection. But then! A glimmer of hope when someone finally needs it... just to download Firefox. The circle of browser life continues. The only time IE gets any attention is when you've formatted your PC and need something—ANYTHING—to download Chrome, Firefox, or literally any other browser. It's like being the ladder that helps someone climb up, only to be kicked away immediately after.

Someone standing proudly in front of a Windows Vista launch banner that reads "The 'Wow' starts now." The title references Apple's new Liquid Glass while essentially saying "I've seen operating systems make empty promises before." Vista promised revolutionary experiences but delivered driver incompatibilities and BSODs instead. Veterans of the OS wars carry these scars like badges of honor. Young devs excited about Apple's new tech have no idea what disappointment feels like.

The Grim Reaper comes for us all, even operating systems. Windows 10 is being led to the afterlife, asking if it was a good OS. Death's brutal honesty—"MEH, BUT BETTER THAN 8"—is the software equivalent of "you weren't terrible, just aggressively mediocre." Microsoft's cycle of creating a disaster (Windows 8), following it with something less awful (Windows 10), then forcing everyone to upgrade again (Windows 11) is the tech industry's version of planned obsolescence. Pour one out for the OS that spent years desperately trying to convince you that Edge was a real browser.
