I think AI is only part of the problem, Nadella’s leadership is marked with a lot of bad choices that aligned users against Microslop. The requirements for Windows 11 was an intentional ploy to get users to upgrade their computers, instigating a potentially massive E-waste event. Allowing Xbox Division to fall so far from grace that it’s barely a blip in the Gaming Scene, when it could’ve evolved into something competitive with the right choices being made. Forcing features on users that they disable, only to enable those features sneakily after every few updates. Forcing Edge as the only default browser, and making it hard as fuck to use another choice on a computer is some next level bullshit too. LLMs are going to be the decoration on the dagger that slays Microslop as a company, but it’s not the only factor that will end them.

I am chuffed that Linux is getting a lot of attention because Microslop’s leadership dared to be so brazenly stupid; I say let Microslop die, as they are creating their intricate corporate suicide plan.
