ambient: we will do things without asking
pervasive: we want to be everywhere in your life
multi-modal: and by everywhere we mean FUCKING EVERYWHERE

So, there’s non-zero chance that they’ll resurrect Windows Phone and Cortana?
The thought of relying on Microsoft services for something sends shivers down my spine.
Then I remember there are adults in this world using Outlook to keep their agendas, paying for MSN news, people BOUGHT MEDIA AND SOFTWARE from the built in stores Microsoft created and abandoned. I can’t imagine it.
The thought of relying on Microsoft services for something sends shivers down my spine.
government (including most chillingly, international governments) and hospitals pretty much all use microsoft tools - outlook, sharepoint, etc - to run huge parts of their organisations
that’s the truly scary part
It all means: You’ll eat AI slop and you’ll be fucking pleased about it.
Perfect translation
Wtf kinda language are they speaking? None of those words should be used to describe an operating system.
They are vibe coding on a higher level bro.
Vibe coding must be the easiest job in the world.
Never been happier to be 100% on Linux.
Switch about 6 months ago, so happy to read these articles and shrug at them now. I gotta say it’s weird there’s only like 2.5% of us
Microsoft could literally make “gargle the balls of Bill Gates” a login requirement and the masses would still use Windows.
Well, all tech is heading to fellatio-based authentication. Microsoft is just trying to beat Apple and Google to the market.
the way things are, things have to be completely unusable for the average user to care. people are still on reddit and twitter and facebook after all.
The average user no longer uses a PC at all.
There are lots of us, but we are not the majority. The average user is quite literally doing everything from their phone, and they don’t care about any OS.
but we’re talking about desktop users.
We are talking about operating system adoption.

Most people just use whatever OS their computer comes with. We need to have more companies producing cheap computers with Linux pre-installed.
I can eject USB drives in Linux! You click the button to unmount it, and it unmounts. This is some crazy technology right here, maybe one day Microsoft will catch up
That’s an insane number of buzzwords in a very short statement.
Also, I don’t want any of what they’re describing. I want my OS to be what allows the programs I use to run, nothing more, nothing less. I don’t want it to try and guess what I’m doing, or look at my screen.
Unfortunately I can just upvote this once.
Dear Microsoft.
Your operating system only exists because I have a need to click and type into business things in a quiet office.
Please stop fucking this up.
God I love Linux …
So they’re shutting down Windows 10 after telling everyone Windows 10 would be the last windows operating system, and at the same time as them doing that they’re telling everybody that Windows 11 won’t last very long either, and they’re going to replace it with an AI nightmare.
Great marketing strategy.
For some reason, corporate just can’t stop itself from slaughtering its own golden cow.
I actually like this strategy, they’re taking hope away from people who think Windows alternates between good versions and bad versions by announcing they’re going to follow up a bad version with another bad version.
no one wants to sit in their office talking to their computer verbally, its fucking awkward. Its cool on star trek as a means of exposition and plot, but not in real life.
Start fixing the actual architecture issue of Windows. An immutable base system and modular containerised app workflow might be a start, but we already have that in every other operating system
All those offices with open floorplans are just going to be a auditory nightmare, like some call center every single day.
Hey Microsoft, remember when you made the start menu bigger in win 8 and everyone hated it? Good luck changing everything about the UI. I’m sure it’ll be super popular this time.
“hey guys, you have complained about our latest software, and we heard you. Our next release will literally rip out your genitals and you definitely can’t hide from it. 👍”
More gluant, juxtaposing and hereditary.
I too can just string adjectives together.
More ephemeral, voluptuous and hydrogenous!
I’d rather it were more pulchritudinous, steatopygous and lubricious, but maybe that’s just me.
If you want steatapygian software, Emacs is right there.
Oh, I love hydrangeas!
What is gluant? I couldn’t find it in the dictionary.
Sticky
Seems logical. Glue, gluant, sticky.
I hadn’t expected a dictionary search to come up empty, though.
I’m not native English speaker so maybe I just made it up mixing some other languages 😱🤓
So: an even more disempowering user experience.
Sounds like shit to me.
Opensuse still over here … Just being a computer.
Gave my mom a machine with Mint, havent heard a peep out of her.
did it kill her?
Only with love
hell yeah
I hope one day my kids will come to me and ask me: “Windows? What is that?”
Microsoft: the biggest promoter for using Linux. “Our goal is to make Windows and it’s apps so extremily repulsive even your grandma wants Linux instead. Because we care.”
Compute will become pervasive, as in Windows experiences are going to use a combination of capabilities that are local and that are in the cloud.
…what does Davuluri think “pervasive” means?
Apparently “invasive but like, when it’s a good thing”.
You get to mine crypto for microsoft?
What does he think “compute” means?
