    I’ve no idea what MS are even doing with all this shit.

    I’m like 95% sure I had an AI icon in the search bar yesterday, and today it’s a briefcase. 🤷

      I have no idea why they’re even remotely interested in Windows as a product anymore. Surely they can’t expect that much revenue from integrated AI services when most of the general public’s needs can be covered by web services that will severely outmatch Microsoft’s development speed (y’know because of juggling legacy code and all).

      Considering the fact that they gain most of their revenue by far from their Azure cloud services and enterprise customers, it just seems like a stupid business decision to invest this much into all kinds of random features for their desktop OS aimed at consumers.

      In proper systems architectecture theory, we generally try to avoid mixing up functionality this much because a modular design allows your system to evolve without too much pain. Why build all this crap into Windows when you can just opt-in by installing an application for it?

      I really don’t get it…

          I’ve never had any major issues with windows and I can strip out what I don’t like, so whatevs. I like Linux, but gaming, so I roll with windows.

          Windows Server on the other hand, fuck that noise. Ugh.

            Gamings gotten pretty good with linux. I made the switcheroo when windows forced an update that undid a lot of my changes to windows AGAIN and I was like evwrytime they do this I have to take time to finish this and was pissed.

            All games I play work on Linux no problem and all the games I’ve been interested since then have worked day 1; but of course I’ve always taken issue with games that have kernel level anticheats.
