Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin (www.neowin.net)

A few days ago, Davuluri shared his excitement about it on his official X handle. He seemed very eager to reveal what the company has in mind at the upcoming Ignite event regarding the agentic OS plans.

Unfortunately for Microsoft and Davuluri, the response has been overwhelmingly negative, so much so that the comments on that X post have now been disabled.

Made me laugh. :)

Microsoft Blog

The new Windows update adds Pat the Mouse, an AI-powered feature that predicts what you want to click on, and automatically does that for you.

The latest Windows update automatically writes the words you will not want to interpret C++ is an interpreted noodle is good.

The latest the Window update removes the toggles for AI features, as we believe the AI is the future. The keyboards and mouse were truly innovative invention, but now belongs to the pasts times.

Noodle is a noodle is a noodle is a beheaded flying chicken with caps written in ALL-CAPS.

I can't wait for that whole AI bubble to blow up. Shame it's most likely not gonna kill Microsoft..

Too big to fail 😔

I think the worst two things about this are the impact on the environment and the data collection. If you've ever used chatgpt, have you ever asked it to divulge what it knows about you? 🫠

Maybe Windows must just lose a massive share of the market to break his enshittification circle.

I wonder when the big software players running their stuff on Win are going to complain. For me, I'm tied to Autodesk. If they would make their mind up and start a Linux version or support Proton (I don't see, why the advancement in the gaming world couldn't in principle be applied to productivity software) I would be away from MS at work instantly.

I don't think most of them will.

  1. They will use enterprise editions internally, where their IT team will have much more control over behaviors they don't like at the group policy level than home users do.

  2. The executives at the big software conglomerates have the same AI boners that Microsoft does. They'll be looking for ways to integrate new Windows features and use them as selling points for their own products.

  3. They don't care about the privacy nightmare Windows has become because they implement and benefit from the same telemetry and data collection practices with their customers.

Because linux users are haxors that will be pecking at their sortware DRM and create unofficial 3rd party pluings that make users life easier, but give dev teams a headache.

My career is supporting business Linux users, and to be honest I can see why people might be reluctant to take on the Linux users.

"Hey, we implemented a standard partition scheme that allocates almost all our space to /usr and /var, your installer using '/opt' doesn't give us room to work with" versus "Hey, your software went into /usr/local, but clearly the Linux filesystem standard is for such software to go into /opt". Good news is that Linux is flexible and sometimes you can point out "you can bind mount /opt to whatever you want" but then some of them will counter "that sounds like too much of a hack, change it the way we want". Now this example by itself is mostly simple enough, make this facet configurable. But rinse and repeat for just an insane amount of possible choices. Another group at my company supports Linux, but just as a whole virtual machine provided by the company, the user doesn't get to pick the distribution or even access bash on the thing, because they hate the concept of trying to support linux users.

Extra challenge, supporting an open source project with the Linux community. "I rewrote your database backend to force all reads to be aligned at 16k boundaries because I made a RAID of 4k disks and think 16k alignment would work really well with my storage setup, but ended up cramming up to 16k of garbage into some results and I'm going to complain about the data corruption and you won't know about my modification until we screen share and you try to trace and see some seeks that don't make sense".

Unfortunately, most Windows users have a long history of complaining about it and then still continuing to use it.

There's no way around it: if you keep using abusive software, you'll stay in an abusive relationship.

Here’s the thing - the same thing that Microsoft is being roasted for saying they’re going to implement is the thing that Apple are being roasted for not having implemented yet. The difference is -rightly or wrongly- people trust Apple in a way that they simply don’t Microsoft.

[–] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Apple zealots trust apple. The rest of us don't give a rat's ass what Apple does.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

At this point if you don't want a custom built or Linux PC, I see apple as the corporate gold standard. Windows is a glued together heap of slow trash for a while now. So many bugs, removed features, and lots of other crap. Macos just works, it's a lot cleaner and more integrated.

Corporations need centralized governance that active directory provides.

Their stance on default privacy and sticking a finger to law enforcement is leagues above both Microsoft and Google/Android. So far at least.

[–] vacuumflower@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

and sticking a finger to law enforcement

No. They are just doing it differently - they have proprietary p2p networks and such doing obscure shit. They are similar to Telegram in that. Good to their users as much as they need that to maintain balance of interests.

[–] HereIAm@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Is it the Multipeer Connectivity you're talking about? I've never heard of it before. It does seem like something that could be used to track users.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

You are correct... yet it is so sad that a modicum of respect for their clients is held up as if Apple self immolated out of principle... the bar is THAT low
