Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns (www.windowslatest.com)

Electron apps are ruining the Windows 11 experience, and even the JavaScript creator has warned against ‘rushed web UX over native,’ but it doesn’t look like that will change Microsoft’s plans. In a post on X and other places, Microsoft reaffirmed its commitment to AI in Windows 11 and encouraged Electron developers to consider using AI in their apps.

They're already hitting the storage side of things pretty hard.

Buy up all of the hardware on the planet to have a monopoly on compute/storage -> rent the compute/storage to everyone who can't buy it.

Posting scammy Amazon links feels like cheating when having these discussions, but I kinda get where they're coming from. The fact that people can try to sell a laptop with only 64gb disk is absolutely mental to me, because that's not even enough to let the BASE OS run normally and update reliably. And that's before you start doing anything on it.
