Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" (www.windowscentral.com)

Microsoft's AI CEO, Mustafa Suleyman, has shared his opinion after recent pushback from users online that are becoming frustrated with Copilot and AI on Windows. In a post on X, Suleyman says he's mind blown by the fact that people are unimpressed with the ability to talk fluently with an AI computer.

His post comes after Windows president Pavan Davuluri was recently met with major backlash from users online for posting about Windows evolving into an agentic OS. His post was so negatively received that he was forced to turn off replies, though Davuluri did later respond to reassure customers that the company was aware of the feedback.

You know what would impress me? That I would be able to start using my computer when I boot it in the morning.

As it stands I have to wait some 5 to 10 minutes before the mouse pointer decides to cooperate with me. And god forbid I attempt to start a Teams meeting, either the camera, mic or screen share will not work at all.

What the hell is this dumbass operating system doing that is more important than responding to the damn user?

Same machine, booting Linux, lets me start working right away. No stuttering, no freezes. Go figure.

Yup, and Linux probably boots faster. On my NVMe w/ full-disk encryption (not through the disk's microcontroller, through an outside FS), I boot to desktop in like 5 sec or less, and the desktop is fully usable. If I want to launch a program, I type the name and hit enter, and it launches in a couple seconds.

My M3 Mac is a little worse, since it gets confused about launching an app vs looking for a file, and it takes a bit longer to boot (20-30 seconds?).

But my SO's Windows machine is something else. It takes a minute or two to boot, and after that it takes a minute or two to "settle." I have no idea what it's doing, but I generally get up and get a drink or something when my SO asks me to get something pulled up. Why is it so crappy?

Yup, and Linux probably boots faster.

Someone once wrote something that compiled the Linux kernel on bootup with TinyC. Even this would be faster.
