Microsoft is working on a new project labeled Windows ‘K2’, intent on removing bloatware, reducing AI, and optimizing Windows 11 for gaming, with three focuses of ‘performance, craft, and reliability’.
the issue is not about performance, is about enshitification. I mean, do we need TPM? do we need Microslop account to login our pc/laptop? do they really need to shove Copilot into Windows?
This sounds like a very good thing, right? They’ve got the message that we don’t want Copilot, we don’t want AI, we don’t want our computers to require an Internet connection, and they’re listening.
No, they’re listening to market share change.
Please explain how that’s different from what I said?
The source of the numbers doesn’t matter, only the numbers.
Is the downstream behavior not almost identical? Is this pedantry for pedantry’s sake, or are you attempting to make a point?
It’s pedantry. The inevitable result of not listening to your customers is losing customers. Losing market share is still customer feedback.
The difference is they only care about shareholders and will do whatever to get enough people or corporate users back. That doesn’t mean they’re going to do what we all want.
So we all agree they’re listening to market share change
Not sure what point you or the other one are attempting to make, but the original point is still valid
I hope you were sarcastic… Because Microsoft’s new business model is AI. So Windows will continue to be their portal toward AI.
Yeah, but that only works if people actually use Windows.
