I just had to boot Windows yesterday for some quick work (adding Windows support to my browser I've built from scratch) and since I barely have any tools on the Windows installation, I used notepad.exe to edit stuff.
And of course, it has a very obvious bug, any file shows "$filname.$ext.txt" in the title bar, regardless if it's a .txt or not. So opening config.toml shows as config.toml.txt.
Seemingly Microsoft got rid of the entire QA department, judging by the amount of bugs. Seriously, does the developers who implement these changes not open up the application they're editing even once before they push this out to customers? What the fuck is going on?

Unfortunately they did, back when the new CEO took charge in 2014
Not trying to defend windows, but this is probably more likely down the stupid defaults Windows has by the fact it hides extensions by default. So if you name a file foo.pdf, you’ll see it as ‘foo.pdf’ but it’s actually called ‘foo.pdf.txt’. I can’t for the life of me figure out why this is the default, but it’s been this way for decades.
For the time that you were using Windows, you are the QA department.
I'm a shit QA department though, because I forcefully shut down my computer when I get too frustrated, and never send any bug reports to Microsoft...
