Technology

It is a cold dark night at Microsoft Headquarters. The moon is blacked out by the clouds and rain and thunder beat relentlessly against the office windows.

The head UX engineer stares at the prompt nervously. He hesitates, his whole life has been building up to this point. He is going to control where windows is going and shape the lives of billions of people.

"You got this," He mumbles to himself, "you know what to do."

He grabs a screenshot of his desktop and types the fateful words. Make this desktop make more money

The AI says processing...

Windows, the first ever sloperating system.

All they had to do is built an actually good search into explorer, they didn't do that for 20 years and now they force this trash on us... Good thing I ditched Windows last year and soon will sell all my Microsoft shares, that company has no future or vision it's disgusting

Linux has been very nice to me. I will look back fuck shitdows.

Windows obsession with destroying their own file explorer is bizarre.

I cannot understand why a user would ever want this

The thing is that if MS concentrated on providing a bulletproof experience, a sane licensing mode, with a low, cheap, entry bar, they would just keep being the top dog forever.

Now they are just giving market share to Linux and MacOS for free.

Surely they'll make the file explorer faster now that they're "upgrading" it.

This is just pure idiocy and desperation at this point.

I just got a colonoscopy and the doc said she found some copilot in there

Microslop going full "the beatings will continue until morale improves" with their ensloppification of everything they touch, I see.

Install Linux Problem Solved.

How many times can they shoot their own foot? They must aim like Star Troopers…

At this pace Microsoft will change Windows' name to Copilot. That's my prediction.

Holy shit, just fucking stop

Explorer already crashes enough without this.

Why don't they work on Explorer's awful performance and constant hanging before working in another chatbot?

You know, useful software development work?

When I wanted the file search to not suck I didn’t mean that.

Genuine question. How does all of this useless nonsense make them money? Is it all just from loans? Are they just saying "look at all the AI we're doing" and the investors are just desperate to give them more money?

I just cannot fathom how they profit from all of this. They're spending so much time doing this. For what? What is the business motive for doing this, if not to get bigger loans from their investors?

Is microsoft secretly run by linux evangelists?

Soon in the Microslop support forums: "Please help, I asked Copilot for the photos of my late grandma and it deleted my entire C drive".

Well just earlier today, I installed Pop OS on an external drive. I'll be using that to see if I can use it as a daily driver. If I can, microsoft can eat the entirety of my arse.

It's metastasizing. There must really be big profit and privacy-invading upsides for MS in this whole mess, since it sure as shit is not being driven by consumer demand.

Thank you Microslop!
