Microsoft Admits Windows 11 Is Broken — Promises Movable Taskbar and Fewer AI Popups

After four years of shoving Copilot into every right-click menu, Microsoft finally admits the OS needs “craft” — their word, not mine

Windows EVP Pavan Davuluri published a “commitment to quality” blog post that reads like a breakup apology — promising movable taskbars, optional updates, and fewer AI entry points across apps like Snipping Tool and Notepad.

Honestly, the fact that “you can move the taskbar” is a headline feature in 2026 tells you everything about how far this OS fell. Windows 7 had this. Windows XP had this. My Commodore 64 didn’t have a taskbar, but if it did, I bet I could’ve moved it.
