Re: I don't need new features...
Came in to the comments to post this. I don't want new features either. I've been in IT for nearly 30 years, OSX, Windows, Linux have all been one step forward two steps back with each progressive update in many cases for my desktop usage. Sure there have been some good things at the enterprise management level but a lot of these have been counteracted by the amount of work we've had to do to get our end user devices functional and secure accessing apps our business needs. Just as we get to a good place some bell end with a daft beard of a product manager foists some nonsense at the OS level that means we're back to painting the Forth bridge again.
Yes it keeps me in a job but I'm tired, I'm sick and tired. Please Microsoft, design your OS to give us 5-10 years of stability, we've enough challenges with apps or coping with buyouts like VMware to have space to deal with nonsense features you think users want. And Apple, Jesus wept, the cats were fine, since the shift to location named OSes each update has got worse, things just look worse. Granted some security holes have been patched but ugh, slightly more rounded corners and that thing has moved there now has it, sigh.
I've probably got another 15-20 years of this ahead of me and the change fatigue is giving me the heebeejeebies because I know it is coming. Football Manager realised this and let's you play with the new features where you can specify the length of the toe nails on your defenders but also gives you a classic mode that does what many of us want.
Please can Skynet hurry up? Or the Matrix, just tell me where I can go to volunteer to be downtrodden by the robots or become a battery, either is preferrable to more "features" that are then dropped from the following release as they brought users no benefits and they can see the usage stats to back that up.
Unless Windows 21 or MacOS Dagenham makes the tea and gives me 6 solid hours of sleep a night I'm no longer interested
