Makes sense, the line must go up at all cost. This years profit has to be way way way WAY bigger than last years, otherwise what is even the point of running a multi trillion dollar business.

I'm with this guy
including those working in AI experiences, Copilot, finance, human resources, Xbox and Windows + Devices
Joy. Well, maybe that means they're moving away from copilot...
You say that but they just force added it to my locked down customized Windows 10 install
Why would they fire AI 'marketting' division to fund AI investments? you're to push back on that, there are not in fact 5D chess?
'AI experiences' go in favor of moar datacenter for AI bros to play with.
Basically the infrastructure play has started running out of loans, and the market is switching to who can secure the most debt in a stingy market. So moves like this try to mitigate the hit to credit ratings, trying to avoid what has happened to Oracle for example.
I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure I understand.
Its ok, Microsoft doesn't understand either
Possibly because AI scam is moving into the consolidation phase where a handful of large companies will own it all and they don't really have to market any more
Marketing is excluded.
Yeah but tech division that is shoving copilot everywhere is not 🤷
That would be great for Linux adoption. I'm all in with this news.
Hurry up - need more SRE talent on the open market
