Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog has some info on Microslop. Has Microsoft Finally Gotten The MicroSlop Message?
When last we checked, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was busy trying to shove Copilot, their AI tool, into every crevice of every Microsoft product. Finally, enough users seem to have complained loudly enough to get them to rethink the strategy.
The complaints have been so loud that the guy in charge of Windows has promised to focus on “performance, reliability and well-crafted experiences” for Windows.
That sort of suggests that “performance, reliability and well-crafted experiences” were not priorities for Windows in previous years, doesn’t it?
Anyone using or supporting Windows knows that has not been a priority. Security has also not seemed to be a priority for Microslop in a very long time.
As for whether or not Microsoft can really change, I will wait to see what they do. Words are cheap, especially when you are getting beat up in the press everyday.
Not that I care all that much.
In my opinion Performance, Reliability, and Well Crafted are not in Microsoft's vocabulary.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to decide if they ever focused on that, and I'm not sure. The earliest decisions made by Microsoft were all about screwing the competition. Making Windows the operating system, instead of the UI on top of the operating system. Embedding the browser in the OS to screw over other browsers. (They are still trying to force us to use their browser, and mostly failing)
DeleteI have been threatening to install Linux on my PC for a long time... Their insanity with Windows 10/11 support made me install it on my previous PC, and I was shocked at how far it had come. I'm glad they did that. Mint is so much more pleasant the Windows 11 - and the constant battle to shut down/remove AI from everything.
