I mean... it wasn't exactly difficult to predict this outcome. How many of their employees actually found it useful outside of the C-suite (where they thought it was fantastic because it bullshits just like they do)?
Won't be switching back to Windows any time soon.
Ok, so no Macroslop, just back to regular Microslop then.
Goddamn, the line stopped going upwards didn’t it? Can’t have that.
Any remnant of Copilot left anywhere on the operating system is still a loss for the user and their privacy. Microsoft still wants user data, so they're not going to be getting rid of Copilot any time soon.
This is Linux territory MS, take your pedo CEO with you and leave, before we send our trans-hackers army after you.
The CEO is Satya Nadella
Consumers cannot trust Microslop.
If you haven't already, download and keep O&O ShutUp on your PC if you're having to use Windows and run it regularly, because Windows updates will roll back any changes you've made to its invasive settings. It will also help you delete Copilot off your PC.
I love all the Linux folks that can't ignore a single windows news article :)

I'd say too fucking late. Those who have had problems have already left. And the rest can't, for whatever reason. So walking back won't bring those who left back. Or even if some do come back, they'll leave on the first sign of shenanigans, cause now they know they have a choice and that it is doable.
The only windows pc I still have is my laptop, which has touchscreen and fingerprint scanner. I’m sure both of those things can be worked around (most distros seem capable of touch support at any rate) but I genuinely don’t know what I’m doing trying to make that happen so it stays for now. I use it for one and only one task, so it’s not the absolute worst but I’d like to be rid of it anyway because omfg why does it need updates every single time I go to use it??
My other three computers are on Ubuntu (gasp the horrors!) It’s what I started with back in 2018, and Debian is the only base I actually know any commands for even if it isn’t very many. Plus it’s stable and does what I want out of the box. Except it didn’t register the finger print scanner when I tried. Maybe it would with a bunch of tweaking, idk.
I'm gonna end microsoft as a company if I can't get my Realms world back that they claim is "past its extension."
