  • The OS desktop environment has stagnated over the past 15 years.

    Many businesses have transitioned from a 3-4 year rotation on desktops/laptops to every 5-6 years today. Hell my work laptop is 6 years old and I don’t forsee replacing it for another 3-4 years. For work functions there is no significant improvement to upgrading more frequently today.

    So if they launched W12 next year, widespread adoption will likely not occur until 2032-2033 or at the Win11 EOL whichever comes first.

    The developers today are working on a system that will not become mainstream for 8+ years. They want to launch in the next 2 years knowing it will not be adopted for years.

    They ignoring the reality of today’s market and building to meet the latest fads. It’s Windows 8 all over again.

    Its a fucking stupid and manipulative question for the employer to ask. No employer should give a fuck if somebody took a couple years to travel, take care of family, or just couldn’t find a job.

    What they are really asking "Are any of the time gaps in your job history, a job that you got fired from with cause? "

    Instead of being little shits about it just ask the actual question straight out. The shock value of asking a real non-bullshit questions in an interview has paid off many times for me when hiring.
