Let’s hope it’s actually true.

    Say what you want about Microsoft, but at the very least, it seems to know when it needs to change course.

    That has to be sarcasm, right?

    So Windows 11 Service Pack 2? Or just win11.1?

    I think they should call it ‘The Windows 11 Apology Tour’.

    How MS is a still a thing and still turns a profit is beyond me.

    The nail in the coffin for me was, when I got an add for some copilot course shit, on Microsoft teams, (this was on my work pc btw) with notifications ringing everywhere btw, on a fucking business account (I am using Linux at my household, not fucking microslop). That was IT for me. How they have the audacity to do so, is beyond me.

    That’s what they said a month ago, then they decided that ‘remove copilot from notepad’ meant ‘rename copilot in notepad’.

      I remember reading that plan and being shocked about how good it sounded. And then they did the exact opposite of every single thing they promised, which I’m sure endeared themselves to all their enterprise customers.

      So sure, I welcome Microsoft’s attempts to finally drag itself back into relevancy, but they’ve got a massive self-inflicted foot wound that’s gonna complicate matters.

        “drag itself back into relevancy”

        They still have some like a little more than 90% market share. That seems pretty relevant to me.

        Well, when Microsoft finally admits they’re wrong they usually backtrack well enough. Think windows 8/8.1

        It was still an ugly pig with lipstick but the worst parts like the start screen were gone.

      If you’re happy on Linux, stay on Linux. This is Microsoft’s “I can change baby, I swear” play. Just like they did after Windows 8. And Windows Vista. And Windows ME.

      Surely they have learned their lessons and will never intentionally tank their product in the name of profit again. Surely this time.

      Lol. Me too. I mean, I’ve been running primarily Linux for decades, now this single press release will have me watching for Windows 13 with interest. (This is hopefully obviously sarcasm - meant only to give you a laugh and maybe help you feel chill about whatever you do for your next OS.)

      ‘Say what you will about tech billionaires, but when their wrong they really know how to double down and lose their market share’…
