I like somethings sloppy, but definitely not my OSes
All they had to do is built an actually good search into explorer, they didn't do that for 20 years and now they force this trash on us... Good thing I ditched Windows last year and soon will sell all my Microsoft shares, that company has no future or vision it's disgusting
MS is likely spent all thier R&D on AI, and building datacenters, they want to somehow justfiy recoup the losses from the "profitless LLM"
Glad I moved to Linux recently, windows 11 has been atrocious
Never going back.
Same!
I cannot understand why a user would ever want this
It is a cold dark night at Microsoft Headquarters. The moon is blacked out by the clouds and rain and thunder beat relentlessly against the office windows.
The head UX engineer stares at the prompt nervously. He hesitates, his whole life has been building up to this point. He is going to control where windows is going and shape the lives of billions of people.
"You got this," He mumbles to himself, "you know what to do."
He grabs a screenshot of his desktop and types the fateful words. Make this desktop make more money
The AI says processing...
Linux has been very nice to me. I will look back fuck shitdows.
How many times can they shoot their own foot? They must aim like Star Troopers…
Surely they'll make the file explorer faster now that they're "upgrading" it.

I just got a colonoscopy and the doc said she found some copilot in there
Microslop going full "the beatings will continue until morale improves" with their ensloppification of everything they touch, I see.
MS abandons its other departments development for SLOP 100%. they are on a path to self-destruction.
At this pace Microsoft will change Windows' name to Copilot. That's my prediction.
They're already changing the name of MS Office to "Microsoft Copilot App". So when you use Copilot inside Microsoft Office on Windows, you'll be running Copilot in the Copilot App on Copilot OS.
“Microsoft Windows App” confused the shit out of me earlier. I only realised it was Remote Desktop when I read the description, and I only did that because I was wondering what the fuck Microsoft Windows App is.

When I wanted the file search to not suck I didn’t mean that.
You don't understand .... you have to talk to file explorer and convince it you really need that file and then talk it into searching for it. (Makes sense .... would YOU like to go into onedrive and try to find something ????)
Users: File search should not be this bad
Microsoft: How about this bad?
Explorer already crashes enough without this.
Why don't they work on Explorer's awful performance and constant hanging before working in another chatbot?
You know, useful software development work?

Is microsoft secretly run by linux evangelists?
Makes sense... No one has promoted linux since 1991 so hard like microsoft does these last 6 months.

The thing is that if MS concentrated on providing a bulletproof experience, a sane licensing mode, with a low, cheap, entry bar, they would just keep being the top dog forever.
Now they are just giving market share to Linux and MacOS for free.
it really is wild that they're pushing away so many people, who otherwise would just sit with them forever, just because profits must always increase
like all they have to do is stop making things worse and people will stay with them and continue joining them. that's literally all they have to do. and they can't do it.
Most public companies and governments focus entirely on short term wins with zero consideration for the future.
Microslop is no different.
The current version of macOS, Tahoe, is also atrocious. It's completely unusable on a desktop, it feels like they want to make it work like an iPad.
For the better or worse, the only good OS is now Linux.
Well, the only piece of Apple tech I currently own is an iPad. I bought the thing through a pretty nice offer from my telco, and for a pretty specific use case, running the Affinity suite on the move without lugging my beefy laptop around.
When I saw how they went full idiot with their glass shit for the UI (hellooo, Windows Aero), I stopped allowing updates. The fact that to reduce transparency and effects to make the thing half usable you have to go into accessibility settings says it all.
Soon in the Microslop support forums: "Please help, I asked Copilot for the photos of my late grandma and it deleted my entire C drive".
