Because Windows 11 shouldn't have been made in the first place, I can't find one reason why they couldn't just kept updating 10.
Beside greed, forcing people to use fully integrated AI. Cuz they know damn well that 90% of us will disable that shit like we did One Drive.
I don’t even think it’s greed at this point. As far as I know, no one is making money on AI. Even NVIDIA is cooking the books by investing in AI companies and just making them use the invested money to buy graphics cards. They report those as sales but are they really sales if they gave them the money in the first place?
I think the real reason Microsoft is shoving AI down everyone’s throats is because they went all-in on AI and they’re hoping to keep the bubble going for now and somehow it will work out in the end. It’s literally a fake it until you make it strategy with zero guarantee of making it.
A lot of it I think is just driven by managers with AI FOMO. They really don’t know what AI is supposed to do but they’re hoping users will figure it out.
When you have a solution in search of a problem, and lots of money to push that solution. They assume their customers will invent the use cases and workflows that might make it valuable,
this is the real reason, much like whats google is doing with it on thier devices.
Pretty good for live transcription, are blind or partially blind ppl using it? Translation I guess. Better recognition. Idk how useful the language models specifically are, ai everywhere else is useful. Like in gene sequencing and making mediciine. Ai can like find diffrerent combinations that make the same result, idr why thats good, just that itd take humans many many years to simulate what they can have ai run through.
seems like a very small population, that may or may not benefit from it. no justification other than shove down everyones throat to stave off the bubble.
Funny thing is I still don't know why they needed a new version of Windows for that, I mean 10 was already bloat they could have just shoved AI into it, as in the TPM 2.0 they could have just made a new 25H(whatever the fuck) version where you'd need to enable that on the motherboard.
I'm guessing to capture the consumers that just upgrade without thinking. Like they'll 100% put this shit in next years iphone and people won't even blink.
It's because Apple moved on from X. They skipped 9 just because they didn't want to be behind Apple.
Wasn't the reason for skipping 9 to not break programs assuming “Windows 9” meant 95 / 98?
It sounds like when Microsoft named their second console "360" because they wouldn't want to be behind Sony. But somehow I'm not buying that
One good reason: so all of the fucking half ass obnoxious shit that have put into 11 didn't taint 10.
10 was obnoxious enough. 11 dialed it up to 11.
I n ever understood why they couldn't make TPM 2.0 work on W10
Win10 already supports TPM 2.0, it just becomes mandatory in 11.
And no, TPM doesn't spy on you.
