On the comments of a Youtube Hands-on of the Steam Frame, someone said “The next Xbox will smash this” to which someone else replied “If they don’t make a Copilot Box instead”
Which I think perfectly summarizes the public’s current faith in Microsoft and their AI solutions
Windows president says platform is "evolving into an agentic OS," gets cooked in the replies — "Straight up, nobody wants this"

It’s like they’re actively trying to tank their customer base. Kind of impressive how bad they are lately.

Nadella declared on day one Microsoft was a “mobile first, cloud first” company.
Windows and Office aren’t first, or other first.

“Straight up, nobody wants this”
And they don’t fucking care. They’re going to do it anyways.
You can either do something about it, or just bend over and let them fuck you. That’s what you get for depending on someone else’s platform.

I use Windows 11 at work. I don’t hate it. I’d be ambivalent if we used Macs at work (I use them at home, and I prefer them). I mean it might be a good choice, I don’t know how they are in corporate environments, it’d be fine though. Linux would be… interesting. Nah, though, I’m fine with Windows at work. We use Windows 11 Pro and it has Copilot and we’re instructed not to tell Copilot anything we wouldn’t want getting out (like no trade secrets, nothing that isn’t public knowledge). I ask it random questions occasionally when I’m bored. It’s fine. I would never want Windows on my home computers, though. I think Windows is fine at work. Let work worry about Windows’ shortcomings. Maybe it’s not a problem for them.
Honestly, I’d love a Windows Basic that just kinda looks like Windows 98 (or maybe Windows 7) and has all the security features but none of the “fun” features. Like just drop me in a shell with a file manager, notepad, calculator, the old MS Paint, and let me install whatever. Have it have the app compatibility of 11. And, you know, kick the registry out, we don’t need it anymore. I know, I’m making a hell of a case for using Linux Mint here. What I’m really saying is, as a Mac guy who can use any of the platforms and doesn’t mind using them… Windows does not need to suck as bad as it has been. Windows can be fixed. And it can still remain on its current course for the generations who actually want it to work like that. I’m just saying let pros have a clean one. Make something that makes us Mac guys, and the Linux guys say “hey that’s alright.”

The narcissists at Microsoft don’t give a fuck what you or any other users think. It treats us like captive test subjects for profit. Windows isn’t fine for work, it’s actively hostile to the people who use it.

You’re the opposite of me. I think all OSes are shit, Linux is just shit in a way I can accept better.

Kinda sad, been with MS on PC since MS-DOS 5, by no means a good company, but feels like the end of an era. For me at least. Oh well, see you on Linux, I’ll probably be kicking myself for not switching years ago.

Microsoft needed a new “value” item to punt to customers and bet big on Co-pilot. They invent these new w@nkw@r3 features and no-none needs or asked for and then throw a HUGE amount of sales effort behind it, instead of fixing their existing crappy sh!t. Looking at you Fabric(wtf?), Purview and Synapse. Big dickhead company unable to support their existing solutions that they FORCED onto their customer…

When has that ever stopped them before?
The history of Windows is almost entirely a history of putting out crap that people don’t want, then relying on market share, coercion and manipulation to effectively force people to give in and use it anyway.
