Its unlikely that anyone these days needs to adjust the Allocation unit size, yet that option remains.
Still, I find it hard to believe that Microsoft has forgotten about it.
Instead, I think it simply doesnt care.
Blame it on Windows 8
Now, its always fun to blame everything onWindows 8.
Microsoftsfailure to come up with a decent smartphone to take on the iPhone?
The fact that the iconic Start menu is now largely useless?
The rot started with Windows 8.
Your car breaks down just before you gotta get somewhere urgently?
Youd better believe thats Windows 8s fault.
It was also a bit of a disaster.
Even worse, Microsoft didnt fully commit to making Windows 8 a mobile-first operating system.
This meant that the touchscreen-friendly Start screen was clunkily overlaid on top of a more traditional desktop interface.
This is perhaps the worst legacy of Windows 8.
It also feels like Im using two different operating systems at times.
The fact is Windows 11 has an identity problem.
That could mean cutting all these old parts of the operating system out and starting from scratch.
Do a Windows 8, but fully commit to it.
Unfortunately, due to Windows 8s unpopularity, Microsoft might be too timid to really revolutionize Windows.
If thats the case, then Windows 8s legacy will be even worse than I thought.
