Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC
PixelatedSaturn@lemmy.world 3 days agoIt’s very much true. W10 was cause of pressure from companies and countries, not because of the odd Joe contemplating their os.
Any company may fall, but they can also fail from inaction. Ms has the option to get data no one else can. They can’t afford not to.

Yeah, that certainly plays a role. What really blows my mind is that governments and companies KNOW this about Microsoft, yet they choose to stay in their infrastructure. This world just keeps getting weirder every day.

Yes and it’s not new. There have been failed attempts to get out of Microsoft by governments and companies around the world for more than a decade. Its hard. The cost is huge, the benefit vague and distant.
The only reason why is gaining ground now it’s because US got really crazy. Not because of the cost of Windows licences. Not even because of invasive AI.
