@GossiTheDog hahahahahahaha... oh boy... hahahahaha
So far for the internal checks and balances that got them there in the first place.
I think they fired the wrong employees... -
Microsoft has blown it in every possible way for the last 40 years.
The OS has only gotten worse as this shows, they blew it in the phone market, they've blown it in the app arena and if it wasn't for their locked in, 'we have no where to go' customer base they'd be out of business...
Now they're losing most of Europe as they go Linux and dump office and outlook services

@GossiTheDog my org broke access to the windows store, so I never got the notepad update with copilot, I only ever got the tabs/“keep your tabs when it closes without saving” features which are fantastic.
Thank god vulnerability management isn’t my job.

@GossiTheDog just manually edit the registry to disable wsappx service and remove all windows apps, and use classic win10 apps instead. Still works fine.

@GossiTheDog From a January, 2003 article about Microsoft slapping the ".NET" branding on every single product: "'It's purely a branding issue,' he said. 'They've had a lot of problem explaining .Net. Putting .Net on products in a willy-nilly way only exacerbates the problem. They've certainly been guilty of that, and this is a way of policing that.'" https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/windows-servers-identity-crisis/

@GossiTheDog In case anyone is wondering: yes, the leadership team at Microsoft really did say #Copilot has to be in every app.

@CraigStuntz @GossiTheDog looking at crosstalk and it being like ".NET Messenger" on MSN is super weird

@GossiTheDog are we at the "we need to focus on outcomes instead of chasing kpis" stage of AI product management
@grumpasaurus @GossiTheDog Hahaha that'll never happen. They're probably doing it for cost savings.

This is proof that it’s AI over because the whole point was to shove it into absolutely everything so if they’re starting to pull back at all it’s genuinely over

@kalleboo @GossiTheDog I'm genuinely surprised at that product. It's even somewhat repairable by Apple standards.

@GossiTheDog - turns out adding a feature consumers didn't ask for - and many are actively turning off - wasn't a great plan and not worth the infrastructure you've devoted hundreds of millions of your shareholders' profits to.
The tech equivalent of 3D TVs.
