Microsoft's Windows division, led by Pavan Davuluri, is addressing developer concerns about Windows 11 amid user feedback on AI integration and stability. Davuluri emphasizes that Microsoft is listening and balancing feedback on performance, reliability, and ease of use.

Developer Engagement Issues

In response to criticism from developer Gergely Orosz, Davuluri highlights the company's commitment to improving developer experiences on Windows. Pain points, such as inconsistent dialogs and the need for power-user enhancements, are under discussion to ensure Windows remains an attractive platform for developers.

Update Strategy Criticism

Microsoft's "Continuous Innovation" strategy, involving monthly updates, has been criticized for causing frequent changes and bugs. Many users prefer a more predictable annual update. Davuluri acknowledges the backlash but states Microsoft will continue to integrate AI features while ensuring system stability and enhancing user experiences.
