This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
people are unimpressed with the ability to talk fluently with an AI computer.
I already communicate fluently with my computer. I double click an icon to communicate to my computer "open this". I type into a search field to communicate "find this string".
At no point do I want to communicate to my computer "log everything I do, then use those logs to give me something that isn't what I'm asking for."

Wish I could upvote this twice.

Won't stop them from trying to shove it down our throats.
It’s time for me to build a new gaming pc. With the current cost and this…(keeping in mind I’m no computerologist) I may just get the Steam Machine.
It will entirely depend on the price.
If it's expensive, odds are you're better off, like, finding or cobbling together a used RTX 3080 deskop or something like that.
Not saying that that's a bad idea, but you could also just install Linux. Bazzite is similar to Steam OS and was a breeze to install. Pop is might be easier to get into if you also use your computer for other stuff than gaming, and was also easy to install.
He might be the dumbest ceo out there, and that is an impressive feat.
Nope. Ballmer is and always will be the all time king R. He's the dude that had MS pilot away from handheld devices because nobody will ever use cell phones. This was when MS was the only credible mobile OS. He oversaw Vista, he oversaw 8, both of which were complete disasters.
"You WILL like my AI. Why don't you like my AI? mmMOOOOMM!!!"
Never seen someone with a mind so easily blown.
Either it's bullshit (most likely) or it's because he surrounded himself with AI-cock sucking yes men. Probably a bit of both.
At the idea of customer choice and feedback, no less; like those things are somehow BAD.
I don’t want to talk fluently with a computer, I want it to do things deterministically in a way I as a human being cannot. If I want a discussion, I have it with a human being.
Microsoft is truly the king of putting out a product that no one wanted or asked for, then wondering why no one wants it. I'm sure they will soon begin the second phase of any Microsoft product: spending a small country's GDP marketing it to try to get people to use it, despite it being prominently displayed on approximately 5 billion operating systems already.
A tried and true strategy to piss through more money than god to justify spending more money than god building the thing that no one wants. Looking at you, IE and edge.
Maybe they think market research is for suckers who aren't confident enough in their ideas 🤡
They must think we're more stupid and gullible than we are.
Good sign.
why not just admit you overspent on datacenters, which you cant afford and trying to recoup some of the losses from your other products.
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.
It's sad that all of those things were solved problems 20 years ago.
Like, Skype was usable on pretty much any computer with a webcam in 2006. Computers booted in a couple minutes with their spinning disk drives.
The tech is faster, more reliable, higher resolution, etc, but the software is fucking ass.
If you think you need to blame the people for not being impressed by your product, the problem isn't with the people.
