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?

          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.
