Comment on Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin
willington@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agoThat’s just a longer way to say, yes, shareholders asked for it.
Just because they didn’t ask it in letter form or explicitely that doesn’t mean much.
Look, if M$ does this ‘agentic’ move and its shares drop 20% overnight, then, and only THEN you’d be right to say the shareholders did not ask for it.

No, no they did not. They just said nothing, and execs took that to mean what ever they want. As is tradition.

I did, and just think its bullshit. Investors have to invest, where would they put it if not in “safe” companies like microsoft?
Its total shit talk to put words and intent into a group of people and funds. They don’t care, they just have money to park and Microsoft is seen as a safe place with a good return. There has been too much invested in this shit for them to change course, but also no alternative to invest in.
