DianeIts probably a bunch of things. Theres been massive capital expenditure into AI hardware, severe enough they've had a bunch of layoffs, and yet AI is not generating significant revenue. Their core products are becoming increasingly insecure and flaky due to some combination of AI coding and layoffs. Management is squeezing the users with more ads and corporate tie ins making their products actively hostile to users.

Every one of those is a reason to avoid Microsoft products.
