I think this highlights Microsoft's inability to connect with its customers even more than the AI and shit.
They really just do not give a shit about the consumer, at all.
Its insane people put up with it on their own personal machines I get for work or whatever.
They replaced their customer sales people with AI. Then AI decides the best use of hardware is on more AI...
The infernal machine devours itself.
The truth is that you and I are not their customer. The business to business sales are their primary concern, and many companies would be fine forking over a little extra cash for the "AI operating system".
The average home user is an afterthought.
Agreed. I think it has gotten worse over time. Operating systems for consumer PCs are a mature market and they don't really have commercial rivals. It's Mac, Windows, or Linux and most people never really consider Linux. So, they use Windows to push their other products and not so much as a product in itself.
