A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Never mind any of that - does no-one do market research anymore? Did anyone bother to ask customers if they actually wanted any of this AI crap before billions of dollars was commited to it? Not to mention the damage to the environment.
What's funny is its not the first time Microsoft has found itself out of touch with customers.
Users of consumer Windows are not Microsoft's customers in any real sense. Microsoft's customers are huge enterprises who want this stuff and smaller companies who are trapped into using the MS ecosystem by needing to have interoperability with other people/businesses who use MS products.
