Microsoft quality is going down for all products and services.

Windows 11, patches that are not installing or breaking stuff, X-Box subscription costs going up like crazy, Office 365 going down more than once a month…

Is that the cost of putting all your money into the bullshit generator and pushing it into the customers throat with Copilot-for-everything? Is the staff vibing on the bullshit for being forced to use it?

It’s great to have a different open store… But can someone explains to me how, a store containing about 20 apps, take so much effort and funding?

I am not a Windows fan, but there are no “painful decision” here.

If the company is that broke, you have more “painful decisions” to make…

The upgrade is a no-brainer.

Yes, we are going back to the mainframe era. It started gradually with “the cloud”.

I remember the first days of “the cloud”, when people were not keen to give their data to other companies: “we aren’t going to put all our data on the internet!”. Yet, here we are.

Today, when I bring slightly the idea we could host our operations, I am seen like the crazy one.

Slowly but surely, everything is being locked down in the hands of a few.

The costs are raising, our freedom is diminished, and our privacy is gone.

Linux is like the only bastion remaining. I hope we all take care of this one!

They know. Microsoft is now a service company. Windows upgrades are free. Do you remember when Microsoft said that windows 10 is the last windows?

Now the upgrade to 11 is free, Microsoft is a service company… Windows is only a platform to sell you an office 365 subscription, copilot bullshit and grabbing your information.

They know the Windows days are numbered, and they are going to extract the most juice out of it until it dies.

In their head, the only OS you’ll need in the future is a browser, until then, tough luck peasants.
