Showing the Windows 10 desktop was the yeast they could do

Fresh and healthy, just like Windows 11 isn't
Bork!Bork!Bork!

You might say this bork was bread to fail, but at least it involves a version of Windows that most people actually like.

Snapped by Reg reader Chris Paxton in Ontario, Canada, today's example of signage gone wrong was spotted in a bakery.

Where customers might expect a display extolling the virtues of the baked goods on offer, three Windows 10 desktops suggest all is not well behind the scenes.

The bakery claims its wares are "Artisan, Fresh, and Healthy," and there are few things more delightful than freshly baked bread – even with a baleful security camera keeping watch.

The spyware baked into Windows 10 allegedly pales next to Windows 11's, so a camera ensuring nobody makes off with a baguette stuffed down their trousers won't put off the Microsoft faithful.

Yes, there should probably be a slideshow or some imagery there.

But Windows 10's stylized "Window" wallpaper with light shining through it speaks of a simpler time, when taskbars could be moved with ease, and AI assistants weren't crammed into every nook and cranny of the OS.

Today's bork is a reminder that modern technology, for all its excitement, can sometimes wilt in comparison to the past.

Windows 10 may have occasionally carried the whiff of software failure, yet that's more than compensated for by the intoxicating fragrance of a bakery, even one now paying the inevitable price for advertising its wares via Microsoft's finest.
