    No one’s fucking asking for AI except other corporations. It’s a very industry based circle jerk, consumers don’t give a fuck though.

    Na that’s ok. I’m happy now with Linux. I’ve adapted. And now I’m thriving. Game surveys will be happily filled out to up that statistic of Linux use. Windows can take a miserable dive off a cliff while riddled with Russian STDs.

    Modern corpo playbook.

    1. Go too far with something wildly unpopular on purpose
    2. Everyone complains
    3. Dial it back slightly
    4. “We won!”

    Windows is still constantly tracking you and stealing your data. If you trust MS at this point, that mistake is on you.

    The title of the article is very misleading. Microsoft has not said they’ll be removing AI features already deployed on Windows. All it says is they’re reevaluating AI features going forward and streamlining the experience whatever that means. It sounds like they’re looking to rename unpopular unwanted feature like Recall instead of scrapping it. The whole thing is just a PR move to placate the disgruntled masses. Also they said nothing about intrusive ads, telemetry, or rapidly declining stability of overall system. Recent update literally broke windows explorer, task bar and start menu. One thing for certain, Microsoft will not stop using Copilot to develop their software in house. That would be admitting Ai tools are useless and that would sink Microsoft stock even further than it already has.

      You mean a company founded on lies, by a good friend of Epstein, is misleading the public! It’s not like he’s trying to treat us for his std…

    This is Linux territory MS, take your pedo CEO with you and leave, before we send our trans-hackers army after you.

      When I started using Linux in 2009 it had around 0.6 percent market share on desktop. Windows had 95%.

      Today Windows is measured below 68%, and Linux has been measured above 4% by statcounter.com.

      These things move faster the more people make the change. Linux only reached 1% in 2013, 2% in 2021, 3% in 2023, and 4% was somehow first measured already in 2024. For every single person making the switch it becomes easier for others to do the same, and companies consider Linux support to be a little bit more important. One can only wonder at which percentage of market share it will be offered as a mainstream alternative when buying a new computer, but it seems pretty clear that we’re getting there.

      I guess my point is that we all won when you ditched Windows. Thanks for that.

        10% market share is when I expect it to be impossible to ignore and I think we’re gonna get there fast like you alluded to.

        But…mainly for games. The corporate crowd will stay on Windows because they benefit from propping up other corporations. PC/laptop manufacturers will still push Windows for the same reason

          I don’t understand how my coworkers are using windows. Like, they routinely have issues where it randomly reboots or gets sluggish. And it’s just flat out unfit for software development, unless you’re targeting windows specific stuff. They can’t even run our code locally.

          Maybe some of the problems are janky security stuff to try to lock it down

      Yeah, it a temporary measure due to people leaving. Microsoft will not change. Linux is far better

      Best comment.

      I am very thankful to Microsoft, without them I wouldn’t have made the switch to Linux.

      I really loving it. So much better, faster and powerful + no Spying.

    I thought I’d miss Windows more than I do, but there was no way in hell I was going to install 11.

    Glad I switched. Literally, the only feature I miss is the big, multi-format preview pane in File Explorer. That was very handy.

      As usual with any company, fuck em! They only care about bleeding you of your wealth, not making the world a better place. They can eat shit and die.
