I have responded to Microslop preemptively by abandoning their software and adopting Linux.
This March marked my first year of Linux, can’t see myself going back.

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.

Definition of an abusive relationship. Treated you bad for years but they do one small nice thing and they want endless praise. They're just going to go back to hurting you tomorrow
No baby, I'm so sorry, it won't happen again. I promise!
Too Little and way too late. Microslop is sloppy slop.
"reducing unnecessary Copilot entry points" in apps like Snipping Tool, Photos, Widgets, and Notepad.
So not only are they admitting these were pointless additions, but their choice of words implies that other pointless Sloppilot entry points remain by choice.
Something must be happening to make them alter course a bit, but it's not serious enough for them to commit to any major changes yet.
yes they do but only after about 20% of Windows users decided to leave everything MS related behind.
where does that 20% come from?
And the other 80% only stayed because they were either not confident enough in their technical abilities to switch or had no choice (environment would need to be re-certified, software doesn't work well with wine, boss said no).
The other 80% are probably older folks that don’t know any better, nor have the expertise to install Linux, and the rest are people locked into Windows because of work.
Pretty much the two groups that I had in mind but I wanted to generalize a bit.
Did they bring back the taskbar calendar flyout?
