Yes, by all means, make a new OS and paywall all the AI garbage on there. Please.

This sound so horrible, I might finally “upgrade” to 11.

Meet Microslop’s new Head of Design and Engineering!

If there was ever hope that Microslop would correct its ways, this is proof that there is no reason to hope

Bro we just wanna own the things we bought and paid for. You’re not making a good argument here, Microslop.

That’s because SaaS doesn’t WANT you to own anything…

Affinity.
I just need Affinity.
And then I can dump Windows.

Winboat, and run it in that, I do. No more Windows here (well in Winboat but that’s just a VM)

This is what I’ve done. Crash rate is high. Performance is degraded. Windows still involved, just hiding.

Who cares. Go home windows. I’m waiting for Microsoft doors.

These AI features won’t come cheaply, with Windows 12 set to debut a new hardware requirement just as its predecessor did with the TPM 2.0 requirement. This time around, a dedicated NPU would be required, a specialized processor designed to handle AI tasks.
Requiring new hardware for AI when there’s already a serious SSD and memory shortage caused by AI? What could possibly go wrong?
Next up: Microslop will file lawsuits to shut down Linux distribution.

Great time to install Linux or buy a Mac or ArcaOS; I’m not one to judge.

I think they know that they have a shitty product that nobody asked and everybody hates, but they also know that corporations and institutions have their workflows and custom software stacks built on top of windows and therefore them and their workers are not very easily going to jump ship. Only thing they need to make sure of that they don’t break 40 years of backwards compatibility. Understanding that, why the fuck not just milk people? If it backfires, then it backfires, but even then Microsoft makes more money on Office 365 alone than they do from Windows.
