I wouldn't call this a victory. I'd call this a "re-evaluation". they've invested way too much into AI/LLMs to simply drop it because users don't like any of it. They're simply going to pivot and come at this shit from a different angle.

Na that’s ok. I’m happy now with Linux. I’ve adapted. And now I’m thriving. Game surveys will be happily filled out to up that statistic of Linux use. Windows can take a miserable dive off a cliff while riddled with Russian STDs.
No one's fucking asking for AI except other corporations. It's a very industry based circle jerk, consumers don't give a fuck though.
It will continue to dominate the market (along with apple) as long as it is the default OS on new pcs.
might be, but fortunately switching to and getting used to linux is so easy nowadays.

"rethinking Recall"... again. Doesn't Microslop understand anything?
I won when I installed Linux.
No you didn't win, they are rebranding their enshitification and tweaking it, it will end in the same spot. Just like minneapolis "won" in getting the feds to somewhat back off of summary executions of citizens under false pretense for the moment. No one was charged, the state is deferring to the feds as if the 10th amendment didn't make it their duty to prosecute crimes whose precedent would allow federal agents to summarily execute a governor under similar false pretense, contrived altercation, and get away scot free. Or a county prosecutor.
The only way to win here is not to participate
A saying I love about this:
"Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

Apart from using windows at work, it's considered dead to me.
I thought I'd miss Windows more than I do, but there was no way in hell I was going to install 11.
Glad I switched. Literally, the only feature I miss is the big, multi-format preview pane in File Explorer. That was very handy.
Cool, still not going back to windows
This only happened because the line went down suddenly
Good
Hopefully the rest of the industry takes note too
