That’s an insane number of buzzwords in a very short statement.
Also, I don’t want any of what they’re describing. I want my OS to be what allows the programs I use to run, nothing more, nothing less. I don’t want it to try and guess what I’m doing, or look at my screen.
Unfortunately I can just upvote this once.
Hey Microsoft, remember when you made the start menu bigger in win 8 and everyone hated it? Good luck changing everything about the UI. I’m sure it’ll be super popular this time.
Wtf kinda language are they speaking? None of those words should be used to describe an operating system.
Never been happier to be 100% on Linux.
I can eject USB drives in Linux! You click the button to unmount it, and it unmounts. This is some crazy technology right here, maybe one day Microsoft will catch up
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
Most people just use whatever OS their computer comes with. We need to have more companies producing cheap computers with Linux pre-installed.
Microsoft could literally make “gargle the balls of Bill Gates” a login requirement and the masses would still use Windows.
Well, all tech is heading to fellatio-based authentication. Microsoft is just trying to beat Apple and Google to the market.
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.
but we’re talking about desktop users.
We are talking about operating system adoption.
I hope one day my kids will come to me and ask me: “Windows? What is that?”
I’ve always wanted my OS to be ambient. Whenever I boot SuSE, I’m thinking, “what this needs is to be more ambient”. I’m glad that someone is finally doing something about it.
None of these are things I want in an OS.
Yup, I want “unobtrusive, lightweight, compatible, and secure.” Basically, the best case for an OS is that I don’t notice it.
Windows XP was the greatest OS of all time.
All we’re doing now is wandering away from perfection.
7 > XP
Have you heard of Linux Mint?
Best Microsoft OS maybe…
Xp was peak. Fight.
Depending on what the hell “ambient” means in this context that one might be okay. The other two though, eww.
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.
Can’t wait for Windows min requirements to be an RTX 5090
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.
For some reason, corporate just can’t stop itself from slaughtering its own golden cow.
Eww
Micro$oft doing this has been the best thing for Linux and MacOS
More gluant, juxtaposing and hereditary.
I too can just string adjectives together.
More ephemeral, voluptuous and hydrogenous!
What is gluant? I couldn’t find it in the dictionary.
Sticky
Seems logical. Glue, gluant, sticky.
I hadn’t expected a dictionary search to come up empty, though.
I’m not native English speaker so maybe I just made it up mixing some other languages 😱🤓
pervasive
What? Why would anyone want this?
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.”
Microsoft does the best viral marketing for Linux.
