Why are they so hellbent on destroying their brand? What's their endgame?

They've spent hundreds of billions on AI. They can't let that go to waste.

Their "game" is to serve as an empty shell to be used to mass import all 2 billion Indian Hindu rape rats from India into America. That is the only purpose for which our big tech companies are taken over by Indian Hindu rape rat locusts.

They get paid so much money by the powers that be to self-destruct that they end up becoming richer than if the had kept their brands healthy. This is fundamentally no different than going woke and broke soon after; it just keeps happening and that's the reason.

Its a demoralization scheme by socialist shills. Buy the stuff that normies like, destroy it, they give up an then they'll be ready to eat ze bugs.

It's not them, it's the bankers. Besides, 80% of the dollars in existence have been "made" in the past 5-7 years and are circulating the globe. If they come home too quickly we get Weimerica. Gotta put them somewhere say in a bail out, or foreign infrastructure, MIC, you name it.

The problem is most people view Microsoft as an OS company, a console company, a business software company. This hasn't been true in over a decade, almost two.
Microsoft is a server company. OneDrive increases their server business, AI increases their server business. If they could abandon Windows and personal computers and force everyone to use terminals on their mainframe, they would.

They need to be punished.


I maneuvered everyone in my life to use linux or even MacOS.

Microsoft will forever be metaphysically associated with the spirit of Bill Gates and Indians.

>>107852171
That's not a reason to continue, one should always try to judge what is the best move right now, not take previously wasted money into account.
I guess the CEO have to double down unless he wants to be replaced though, because I bet most of the board can't really grasp sunk cost fallacy.

I honestly think we're not that far away from a class action lawsuit from the shareholders for gross mismanagement. Their pajeet CEO is turning the entire company into a meme.
>>
>>107853357
Then surely as punishment they should do what they did in 2008, but far far more brutal.
Break them up upon condition of a bailout, and give the people a stake in their company.

>the CEO have to double down unless he wants to be replaced
That's exactly the thing. In today's world doing a single wrong thing can get you cut off immediately.
Slopya Nutella has to be shaking in his sleep not to be the first CEO in history that loses almost trillions of dollars. So he quadruples down, hoping either the AI bubble bursts so he can blame the loss to someone else or AI dominates the worldand he ascends to godhood. Either way he won't lose.

because the ceo and his ethnic hires don't actually have any talent other than nepotism and networking. so when the time comes that actual talent is needed they just fuck everything up and the reality of their abilities becomes apparent.

basically they've just been caught lacking. without ai and the dynamics that it brings to the marketplace, whatever those dynamics turn out to be in the end, they would never have been exposed like this. it's kind of like going to war. when this happens it generally exposes the idiots in the peacetime military who sucked their way to the top. They end up failing hard, often get killed, and get replaced by people who can actually do the job. happens every time.

enjoy the show.

just to add, whether or not that happens in time to save the company or the country is not guaranteed. microsoft does not have unlimited resources and even big companies can fail.

Anybody with a brain has realized at this point that the current implementation of AI is a dead end. Bolting more and more code onto a flawed foundation is going nowhere. The only people who keep pushing it are either grifters or retards.
>>
>>107852956
Retarded take.
Linux has almost all software available natively except for jewishy companies'. And MacOS support all professional software Windows does, sometimes it even works better.
So yeah, there's no need to use Windows. You can go Mac+Linux and have all the good stuff, hassle free.
>>
>>107853497
AI as a technology is pretty cool, and interesting.
AI as it's pushed by the corporations is a pile of gross slop shoved in people's faces and used by low IQ third worlders to turn the internet into a pile of low effort garbage.
>>
>>107853542
People have been ingrained in the corporate ecosystems so they don't know how to learn open source alternatives, and convince themselves within a few minutes it's shit just because it's not identical.
>>
Part of me thinks they're betting on a future where common consumers simply don't matter anymore, most being economically wiped due to general unemployment from AI. So they're betting everything on an agentic future for corporations and prosumers.

This right here. An OS is a platform for other software and the most commonly used office, productivity, gaming, game dev, etc. software is found on Windows.

>>107853542
>Linux has almost all software available natively except for jewishy companies'.
And sadly, the FOSS alternatives are dogshit though that may (HOPEFULLY) change due to growing dissatisfaction with AI slop and subscriptions. You said he had a retarded take then basically backed up his claim you fucking shit-head. Remove your emotional attachment.

Is it really that bad though? Is it causing performance issues or something? I can't imagine people caring about having an AI button on Office apps

>I can't imagine people caring about having an AI button on Office apps
Shut up satan you fuck, yes it is that bad. Quit denying that people hate this crap.
>>
>>107853657
Not really backing up anything with a single sentence desu. But if you're stuck in the ecosystem and refuse to adapt to something else just to avoid corporate slop that's being enshitified year after year then that's not any of our fault.
>>107853666
I don't know, I've been off windows for a couple months now. I think it's just that people are upset that they have no control over their OS as per the usual, and are too afraid of jumping ship still.

>>107853689
>corporate slop that's being enshitified

And it will have to get a lot more shitty before it is shittier than FOSS alternatives. His take was the lack of software. Your take was "Linux has almost all software available natively except for jewishy companies'. " so basically that sounds like a lack of widely used/industry-accepted software.
>>
>>107853725
Give some actual criticisms anon. Because every time I see someone bitch about FOSS quality, or just complain that Linux has no good alternatives there's never any legit criticisms. Just "It doesn't have this one thing I'm used to, and the ones on Linux are too different!"
And who's saying you have to use FOSS? I bought reaper for my music composing, and it's actually better than anything I had used on windows. Perfect replacement for Mixcraft.
OBS works natively on Linux, and I've replaced notepad++ with kate, and paint.net with pinta.
So come on anon. What can't you use on Linux that you absolutely need? Because like I said before I usually find people giving things like 5 minutes before they get frustrated because things aren't exactly the fucking same as they're used to.
>>
>>107853725
Also I wasn't the lad who made that claim. I just look down on the inflexible among us.

Sounds like a rather legit criticism to me. In fact it sounds like the PRIMARY reason outside of OEM adoption.

> I've replaced notepad++ with kate, and paint.net with pinta.
And? The fuck does that have to do with software that actually matters?
>>
>>107853755
>Just "It doesn't have this one thing I'm used to, and the ones on Linux are too different!"
You don't understand what this means, and you're just as out of touch as the Microsoft exec who dismisses complaints about various arbitrary changes to Windows UI. You're fucking with workflow.
>>
>>107853542
Like 90% of the programs I use in uni are windows only. You're retarded

>>107853899
Or in any case, they're not available on linux
