“We think we’re on the cusp of the next evolution, where AI happens not just in that chatbot and gets naturally integrated into the hundreds of millions of experiences that people use every day,” says Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft, in a briefing with The Verge. “The vision that we have is: let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI, and build essentially what becomes truly the AI PC.”

I have not touched a Microsoft product or service for my personal life in 10 years. Last year I was fired, thus no longer being forced to use Teams.

Which means I haven't touched a Microsoft product, at all, in a year. Love it.

Interesting, I touch Microsoft products almost every day. I like their Pro Intellimouse, I use Teams and other office stuff at work, and I use VS Code at work for my job. I still have my Xbox 360 somewhere gathering dust.

I haven't used Windows outside fixing my SO's computer for ~15 years.

Most Microsoft products are fine. VS Code is a great code editor, their Intellimouse line is incredibly durable, Excel is still fantastic, and Xbox is pretty decent value for a console. Windows and Teams suck though.

Actually there's one part of Windows that doesn't suck – font rendering. Even with fonts copied straight out of C:\Windows\Fonts, no matter how many config files I edited, I couldn't recreate Microsoft's ClearType, no matter Mint (MATE), Kubuntu or Debian (LXDE).
