Imagine being one of the developers who put their time and effort into the base OS tools back in the day (almost all of which we had as far back as 7) only to watch Windows 11 undo all of it.

  • Work on windows XP
  • Watch the other team fuck up Vista
  • Fix all the horrid shit when you work on windows 7
  • Watch them fuck up windows 8
  • Leave
  • Watch them continue to ruin windows 10
  • Watch them burn it all to the ground with 11

We’ll never know: humans won’t be allowed to touch Windows 12, you can only ask the AI to operate the mouse and keyboard for you.

The AI ethics people are gonne get Microsoft then, for making AI agents interact with their horrible OS.

Just AI generating an image of what the desktop should look like.

Mouse, keyboard, and other inputs are treated like prompts (e.g. move pointer to 43, 135).

All that gets stored on your disk is these prompts in a giant file and it executes it all on each startup to get to the final state you were on last time (it's never quite right, sometimes completely wrong)

All of that is processed "on the cloud" and you get an eye watering bill at the end of each month (MS is still running on a loss though), but hey at least the PC didn't cost more than $100 because it's an SD card, a wireless adapter, and a bunch of cables in a trench coat.
