Comment on Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken

Really hoping Microsoft fails for everything ezcept Xbox. Then Xbox team takes over and then turns the company into a private non-stock unionized one

Would love to see what an Xbox-lead Microsoft can do with it reformed

What are Microsofts most moneymaking fields aboce Xbox? Are they getting eroded at all?

Xbox feels like the biggest one being eroded rn… i don’t think what Xbox is doing is any good nor would it help the main business

Azure is the cloud backbone of many businesses and services, so if Windows went away, MS would still have their fingers in a number of pies.

  I’ve previously predicted that Microsoft would slowly divest of Windows thanks to declining desktop/laptop markets and eventually as a cost saving measure cut over to just making a Linux distro with their own proprietary DE.
  
  As it is if the rumors are true that they’re destroying their codebase with AI coding they’ll have quite the job ahead of them to clean it all up once the AI bubble pops. They’d have two easier options essentially at that point: either roll back 2-6 years in their codebase and rebuild every update and change that they wanted to keep or rewrite from scratch (which they’d basically be looking at in order to clean up the AI mess) I could very much see a future where Microsoft looks at that gargantuan job and says “ehh let’s just use someone else’s work” and shifts to a Linux of BSD kernel

Hate to break it to you but Xbox is pretty much the bottom rung of Microsoft in terms of profit.

Xbox OG was good, everything since then has been garbage. The UI just makes me want to vomit and reminds me of windows 8.

Forget them too. I’m all full steam ahead on SteamOS.
