Comment on Why is Windows still bloated
FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 19 hours agoNo because it is old software running on new hardware. Modern Windows comes with a ton if code so “old stuff” still works, it even favors bundling runtime cold for OLD frameworks rather than new in the installation. That’s why you need to install modern. NET 10 etc after a new windows installation when installing new softeare, yet it runs old software out of the box. Companies aren’t running dinosaur code on old computers, they’re running dinosaur code on modern computers.
If i remember right, Microsoft said they’re dropping support for a lot of the old .NET stuff at least, so we’ll see if it happens and if companies get mad or update themselves finally

Ah right, I’d assumed old hardware because you’d said “upgrade aging infrastructure”.
