    Compute will become pervasive, as in Windows experiences are going to use a combination of capabilities that are local and that are in the cloud.

    …what does Davuluri think “pervasive” means?

    ambient: we will do things without asking

    pervasive: we want to be everywhere in your life

    multi-modal: and by everywhere we mean FUCKING EVERYWHERE

      The thought of relying on Microsoft services for something sends shivers down my spine.

      Then I remember there are adults in this world using Outlook to keep their agendas, paying for MSN news, people BOUGHT MEDIA AND SOFTWARE from the built in stores Microsoft created and abandoned. I can’t imagine it.

      Switch about 6 months ago, so happy to read these articles and shrug at them now. I gotta say it’s weird there’s only like 2.5% of us

        Microsoft could literally make “gargle the balls of Bill Gates” a login requirement and the masses would still use Windows.

          the way things are, things have to be completely unusable for the average user to care. people are still on reddit and twitter and facebook after all.

            The average user no longer uses a PC at all.

            There are lots of us, but we are not the majority. The average user is quite literally doing everything from their phone, and they don’t care about any OS.

    So they’re shutting down Windows 10 after telling everyone Windows 10 would be the last windows operating system, and at the same time as them doing that they’re telling everybody that Windows 11 won’t last very long either, and they’re going to replace it with an AI nightmare.

    Great marketing strategy.

      I actually like this strategy, they’re taking hope away from people who think Windows alternates between good versions and bad versions by announcing they’re going to follow up a bad version with another bad version.

      That was my first thought, like what the fuck, I don’t want my OS creeping on all my shit.

      It won’t matter, they will serve slop and most people will happily eat it.

      A lack of even basic technology literacy hurts everyone so much. Most people have zero clue how their stuff works and zero interest to learn. Its easy to manipulate an ignorant population as we see again and again.

      My favorite simple example is “do you shit with the door open? No? OK then privacy does have value–for all involved.”

    Dear Microsoft.

    Your operating system only exists because I have a need to click and type into business things in a quiet office.

    Please stop fucking this up.
