Aren't alternate versions of Windows bad to just give a reason to upgrade again? I suspect the windows slice of the pie will shrink a bit, until Windows 12 when some users will be tempted back to something that looks more like Windows 7 or Windows 10.

I'd expect better from a company with more internal Devs who can test prior to public preview.

I think the general impression is that it looks like there's little or no internal testing.

We should expect to see 12% cut from openai and all its outsource contracts then, right?

It's not very feasible to try and count Linux use, linuxcounter.org

The project closed because people stopped, there's a way forward with game compatibility via proton. Most of the web is usable now. Is it worth debating now as there's good parity between them and moving is simple enough.

We have internet and can remote easily, why do so many people travel by air still

Miles for roads, pay for fuel by the litre

Can you prove the murderer wasn't going to stab someone even if I didn't sell them the knife?

I didn't know there were so many politicians in the UK

This is what they did with MS Office to make it feel like it loaded faster than Corel/WordPerfect/Lotus.

Every boot windows took longer, even if you didn't ever start it. Seriously, how many people use a file manager during their day? Most people won't go to the file manger, so it's a drain on the battery and makes some early start tasks a little slower.

Thanks!

Why wasn't slashdot in that poll?

Blame the CEOs/shareholders who force deployment/integration.

I'd argue they prove marketing is more important than results. They've got a very good marketing team. They also have a monopoly, so the two together work wonders as most people don't get to see alternatives.

This is a really good point and one of the reasons why I'll happily keep to vim rather than using an IDE which I felt might have done too much for me. When coding with vim I like to keep the man pages in a terminal and other libraries on a split screen. I think using a code generator would just feel much worse than even letting the IDE suggest library functions to you.

Maybe for somethings it's ok, but I've not found much. It seems a lot of uses are for asking it to give boiler plate back, but why bother, it doesn't take that long to find those sorts of code patterns and you're likely to need to know them in depth later anyway.

If you pay cloudflare you don't have to use their NS. You could have removed their proxy service. Use akamai whilst they're down. Problem was eggs in free basket for most people.

Fairly sure I long pressed on a link recently and got an AI preview. I don't remember opting in for that, maybe I did implicitly by allowing an upgrade. Don't remember deliberately doing that though.

The reason to market without AI is simple, everyone else is saying how much they're going in on it. My suggestion, merge a bit of what you said in and say "We don't rely on AI, for things you want, you can enable them, for everyone else, enjoy the longer battery life!" it'd win downloads, everyone wants more battery.
