Since the beginning of this year, Microsoft's improvements and upgrades to the Windows 11 system have been evident to all, but controversies surrounding Windows 11 have never ceased.There are still many unresolved issues; it's not time for Microsoft to celebrate yet.
A few days ago, Windows Central published an article stating that the changes and upgrades in Windows 11 were so significant that Microsoft should consider renaming it to Windows 12. Now, they've written another article criticizing Windows 11's issues, although they also acknowledge that the current improvements to Windows 11 are indeed noticeable.
However, there is another core issue Microsoft needs to address: lag, andThe root cause of this lag is that Microsoft hasn't created the best Windows applications; it has merely packaged WebView2 and other web technologies into programs.
Players familiar with components like WebView2 should understand what they mean. Often, lag or excessive memory usage in Windows 11 is caused by this component. A few years ago, Microsoft had a misconception that the direction for software development was webification. Therefore, many applications they developed were essentially just WebView2 packaged as software, rather than well-optimized native applications.
The examples they mentioned include Microsoft Outlook and Teams. However, many people in China haven't used these two applications much, so their experience may not be as profound.
However, the points they raised are worth considering. Microsoft has now realized how problematic WebView2 is.Currently pushing forward with replacing previous applications using the WinUI 3 framework,The latter offers better optimization, smoother performance, and lower memory usage. Recent improvements to various dialog boxes and properties are simply reworking old applications with WinUI 3.
In short, Microsoft needs to lead by example and create the best Windows applications itself. Just imagine, if even the Windows applications developed by Microsoft's own teams don't perform well, will other developers prioritize optimization? That's the logic.
