Microsoft spent 4 years stuffing Windows 11 with unwanted ads, forced Copilot integrations, stealing data to train its shity AI and other bloatware, now they want applause for promising to remove it. Reasons for a Change of Heart:
1 Increased Linux gaming
2 Apple's entry into the low end PC market with 0 forced AI
3 The "Microslop" social media shaming campaign
4 Increased costs due to AI leading to almost 0 ROI since there is no consumer demand https://www.sambent.com/microsofts-plan-to-fix-windows-11-is-gaslighting/

@nixCraft I'll believe it when I see it. The business case is still painfully obvious:

1) turn on Copilot by default in all Office365 apps, integrating access to all business data of its users.
2) Copilot suggests email responses based on this
3) managers seamlessly integrate Copilot into their workflow, without ever deciding to
4) since everyone's LLM is different, the managers will be unable to leave Azure/Windows
5) increase the price! Locked-in companies ftw
