Respected All Members of HackerNews Forum,

Myself wanting to share one very Positive Experience regarding recent Windows 11 Inside Product update released by this Microsoft organization under guidance of Pavan Duvaluri Sir. After using same for some time, I am feeling it is only correct to put some Appreciations in Public Domain so others can also take note accordingly.

Frankly speaking, the way they have done the Needful in this Update is very much Impressive. Many Features have been improved, Performance is now very Fast, and overall User Experience is coming in very Smooth manner without any unnecessary Disturbances as earlier was happening constantly..

I am especially noticing that System Stability and Responsiveness has been increased in quite Significant way, which is clearly showing that proper Analysis and Hard Workings has been done from their Side before releasing into Production Environment. Such type of Commitment is not easily coming these days.

From Customer point of view, this kind of Proactive Enhancement is building Strong Trust and giving Confidence that Organization is taking Feedback seriously and doing the Needful on Priority Basis only.

Big Appreciations to all Concerned Teams working Behind the Scene for making this possible with their Continuous Efforts and Late Night Workings. Because of this, product is now standing in much better Position compared to previous State.

If anyone has not yet tried the latest Update, kindly do the Needful and check once. You will be understanding the Improvement immediately only.

Thanks and Regards, One Very Satisfied User

1. Change the logo from a demon to something else. (no matter if it is a play on the word "deamon", it is repulsive to many of the 2.4 billion Christians that can be potential users of FreeBSD)

2. Make an officially supported windows-like desktop environment.

3. Explain what is the purpose of FreeBSD and how does it help us solve our problems.

While he gave a nod to the Windows 95 design team for the iconic interface element, he explained how he'd worked out a way of avoiding a library of localized bitmaps by figuring out how to display sideways text.

In an email to The Register, Plummer told us: "Long story short, in the production builds, I've learned they went with bitmaps rather than the programmatic version.

"My guess is that's the way the art team had always delivered them ... and so it was just easier, but I don't have any real idea. I stay away from source code leaks so don't want to investigate the technicals!"
