Hard no from me
This headline describes the disastrous state of Microslop perfectly. It gets worse with every written word.
Win 11 was such a success, so it is of course absolutely logical Microslop will double down on going that way.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Yes, by all means, make a new OS and paywall all the AI garbage on there. Please.
Microslop Trough
Affinity.
I just need Affinity.
And then I can dump Windows.
Winboat, and run it in that, I do. No more Windows here (well in Winboat but that's just a VM)

Well that sounds just fucking awful!
“no sloppy Windows, guys— I mean it.”
“LET’S SLOP IT UP!”
As we thought it couldn't get any worse.
Jokes aside though, we have to use Windows 10 iot VMs and VDIs to connect to secure production environments due to our clients' corporate policies. Currently we host and sandbox the VMs on Linux servers in order to ensure the integrity of our interactions with the client systems. How the fuck arebwe supposed to do that in the future when the VM's OS is constantly chatting with a third party?
downright determined to develop the shittiest computation experience mankind has ever known
I think they know that they have a shitty product that nobody asked and everybody hates, but they also know that corporations and institutions have their workflows and custom software stacks built on top of windows and therefore them and their workers are not very easily going to jump ship. Only thing they need to make sure of that they don't break 40 years of backwards compatibility. Understanding that, why the fuck not just milk people? If it backfires, then it backfires, but even then Microsoft makes more money on Office 365 alone than they do from Windows.
Congratulations, this announcement really does ticks all the boxes.
This sound so horrible, I might finally "upgrade" to 11.
If there was ever hope that Microslop would correct its ways, this is proof that there is no reason to hope
Who cares. Go home windows. I'm waiting for Microsoft doors.
Bro we just wanna own the things we bought and paid for. You're not making a good argument here, Microslop.
That's because SaaS doesn't WANT you to own anything...
These AI features won’t come cheaply, with Windows 12 set to debut a new hardware requirement just as its predecessor did with the TPM 2.0 requirement. This time around, a dedicated NPU would be required, a specialized processor designed to handle AI tasks.
Requiring new hardware for AI when there's already a serious SSD and memory shortage caused by AI? What could possibly go wrong?
Next up: Microslop will file lawsuits to shut down Linux distribution.
Great time to install Linux or buy a Mac or ArcaOS; I'm not one to judge.
