That's what they said a month ago, then they decided that 'remove copilot from notepad' meant 'rename copilot in notepad'.

Say what you want about Microsoft, but at the very least, it seems to know when it needs to change course.

That has to be sarcasm, right?

the Start menu is getting a full rewrite in WinUI 3, which will make it 60% more responsive

Uh. I think I found the issue. A menu isn't even supposed to have various degrees of responsiveness.

What ever happened to Windows 10 being the last OS you’d ever need?

Aww, and I finally just moved over to Linux.

User: the updates keep breaking my system, I see AI and ads everywhere and stupid electron apps use all my RAM

MS execs: I know! Let's rewrite the start menu again!

Valve: We just gonna release linux-based gaming miniPC.

The rest of the market:

For one, the sources claim that the Start menu is getting a full rewrite in WinUI 3, which will make it 60% more responsive and notably more customizable.

Customizable for whom?
Users? Advertisers?

“Ok, ok, we hear you, no more copilot.

Meet: sidepilot.”

Who cares if it's true? Just ditch windows already

Maybe this time my abusive spouse won’t beat me. I just need to go home. They’ve changed. They promise.

So Windows 11 Service Pack 2? Or just win11.1?

I think they should call it 'The Windows 11 Apology Tour'.

How MS is a still a thing and still turns a profit is beyond me.

Did y’all miss this past week where they disabled their flagship egg-basket for 1.5 billion people on purpose?

Yeah they made Copilot chromium-browser only for about 5 days. On purpose. Or, the less charitable version is they just rolled out a bug that broke things for a massive amount of people, kept the news reports down, and waited a week before being convinced that was a Dumb As Fuck move.

Everyone has to learn this in their own ways but tech people always get there eventually: microsoft is, and always has been, awful.

It’s like learning HP printers are awful.

The nail in the coffin for me was, when I got an add for some copilot course shit, on Microsoft teams, (this was on my work pc btw) with notifications ringing everywhere btw, on a fucking business account (I am using Linux at my household, not fucking microslop). That was IT for me. How they have the audacity to do so, is beyond me.

Plot twist: They're gonna double down on vibe coding it.

the sources claim that the Start menu is getting a full rewrite in WinUI 3, which will make it 60% more responsive

Oh good, that'll bring it all the way up to a third as responsive as the Windows 7 one was.

first line is hilarious

It's real this time, like really, they meant it this time... Finally!

...

no more copilot: i'm the pilot now

They could put a built-in linux installer

No, it's not Windows fault. Microsoft has problems, needs to be fixed.
