Why on earth is the "Windows MIDI Services is Here" thing a slider/carousel with one element in it? Why are the buttons completely misplaced with no margin between them? Has a human seen and tried this before they just deployed everything and went live?

Valid questions even if all of them are rhetorical.

Most choices are not between bread and cake. Most choices are between bread and nothing. Good engineering is the art of good enough. Outrage is hardly warranted.

    It's good enough if it conveys the information to its intended audience. If the comment isn't outrage, it's even less warranted.

Why so mean? You can look at all of the commits and see that the same dev who has been writing these drivers and apps pretty much single handedly has been making commits on the site for the past few years. https://github.com/microsoft/MIDI/commits/main/docs https://github.com/microsoft/MIDI/commits/main/docs You can even PR fixes if you want to show off your web dev skills.

  +1 to this. Psychlist1972 / Pete is good people. Pete is one of those rare Microsoft developers who is actively interacting with customers publicly. He's active on the Gearspace forums where musicians hang out, helping people with their Windows issues relating to operating system level audio issues. Here's his Gearspace thread announcing the new Windows 11 MIDI drivers: https://gearspace.com/board/new-product-alert-2-older-threads/1461276-windows-midi-services-official-release.html https://gearspace.com/board/new-product-alert-2-older-thread... I wish there were more people like Pete working at Microsoft. He's someone who is genuinely trying to improve the OS and make it a great experience for users. EDIT: Re-read the original post and I see Pete even checked this project out and commented on Reddit. Sorry I missed that the first time.
