>Microsoft Paint is now requiring you to log inWhat went wrong with M$?
>>107981603>What went wrong with M$?same as any other company:it went public.fiduciary obligations towards the investors mean short term profit will always be preferred over any other consideration
>>107981603>What went wrong with M$?

>>107981603>What went wrong with M$?No sovl
Works on my machine
>>107981603Oh no no no no
>>107981603Why is Microsoft purposely shittfying their own software?
>>107982069I would also like to know
>>107982069they linux fans.
>>107982069Windows makes no profit, but using Windows to promote AI shit could make them a lot of money, (or so they think).
>>107981615microsoft has been public since 1986. There was never a time it was relevant yet private, what changed is they put an indian in charge who doesn't know how to build anything and just squeezes everything to death.
>>107982163>because msft only recently became shitlol. zoomiedo you remember windows Me? no?for good fucking reason, kekit came out bw 98 and xpit was so bad it got memoryholed
>>107981603the payed shill is starting to fight back...it truly is over....
>>107982193yeah... 95,98,xp, 7 and 10 were all fine and also while they were public. your argument is completely retarded, that any single mistake invalidates their entire existence yet they were so impactful and dominant you are still here talking about them 25 years later
>>107981603
>>107982255ignorant cope.are you american? you sound like youre defending msftand amerinegroes have been brainwashed to do exactly that
>>107982268Your arguments are just completely retarded. Microsoft is a shitty hyper capitalist company but they had both interesting and competent software/hardware divisions which is why they dominated vast swathes of the digital world for the past 35 years. unless you're a freetard windows and office was fine till nadella took over, Xbox was impactful, the surface tablets were interesting, i even liked zune, windows phone and their pc peripherals. Most of my digital life was ruled by microsoft in some way, now everything they touch is disgusting and full of shit.The only business they grew was the cloud that spawned nadella in the first place, he fucked up everything else. They no longer have any impact on anything, they are a boring server farm which is the digital equivalent of being aa 70iq landlord who was born into wealth.
>>107982359>more cope, namely: its all indians faultand who put them there?thats right. whites.you can cope all you want, and we can discuss various msft products throughout the ages, no problembut nothing is gonna change a iota that the origin of msfts enshittification was good old american greedlike its the case with every american company going down the shitter
>>107982143>Windows makes no profitDo you think Lenovo gets to install Windows for free on the ChinkPads they sell, just like you do?Windows makes a shit ton of profit. They just want to make even more.
>>107982255>98are you even old enough to have used 98? it was an absolute disaster. they did fix it, to a decent degree, with 98SE, but it was complete garbage. What was really wrong with 98 didn't get fixed until 2000/ME which, if you don't know, a lot of industry and scientific research still runs on.
>>107982378You're accusing me of being a coping American when you sound like a coping Indian. Nadella fucked up Microsoft, this is undeniable. Every interesting aspect of that corporation was destroyed so they could buy up server farms and rent them out like a dumbfuck landlord who never builds anything in his life and subsists as a parasite. white people have destroyed not only microsoft but every tech company and every western nation, that doesn't change the fact that Indians are currently engaged in the dumbest enshittification wave the world has ever seen and it will destroy Americas tech dominance in the process. Capitalism works when the people leading companies have values beyond third world materialism, Indian CEOs have proven they do not posses this trait.
>>107982456>because windows me wasnt a thing>because windows 2000 wasnt a thing>because windows vista wasnt a thing>because win xp wasnt a flaming pile of garbage>because win xp didnt prevent you from downgrading to 98SEholy fuckyoure thoroughly brainwashedalso i had time to forget to what extent i despise americans for how they suck off their corposup to, and including- racism.youre not racist because of convictionyoure racist because of cope. because then you have designated scapegoats onto whom you can discharge all your shortcomings
>>107981603>retard clicks "sign in" button>wonders why there is a sign in prompt
>>107982069Designated shitting OS
>>107982566Why is there a sign in button?
>>107982508Jesus Christ you are actually a seething third worlder and you argue like you have brain damage.>No actually this cornerstone of American tech dominance wasn't ruined by a dumb fuck Indian because they sometimes did incompetent things before correcting it.Meanwhile, windows is getting replaced by Linux, Xbox is dead, windows phone is dead, surface tablets are dead, all their software divisions are on life support, Microsoft is out of the AR race all to double down on becoming the microslop landlord. Yet you would rather ignore him killing everything, INCLUDING windows to focus on temporary versions of the same OS, as if any of that matters once the Indian fucking kills it
>>107982580To allocate power to AI features like DALL-E that use the Cloud rather than your own hardware to generate images
>>107982620>sad homonems in 1st linei can only assume the rest is retard noises
>>107982240>payedsaaaaaaar
>>107982620NTA but how exactly is windows dying when it's the most used OS with the largest number of supported software?
>>107981616spbp
>>107981731This. Dishonest tweet.
>>107982640They have allowed Linux to reach critical mass, they cannot contain the move away from windows. No proprietary software can survive the open source shift and had they not been completely incompetent they could have kept their desktop OS monopoly for another 30 years at least. They also had the opportunity to rule tablets and fucked it and they already gave up on phones. Now a new era of AR and handheld computing is dawning and they already threw in the towel, this CEO has no vision and no balls.
>>107981603Yesterday I was reflecting that Windows has become the disjointed pile of broken shit that the Linux desktop used to be mocked for. Layers and layers of multiple levels of software that are kind of intended to perform the same function but that kind of don't work at all and worse yet that conflict with each other so none of them work. I was trying to print a couple documents on Win 11 yesterday, and the print spooler predictably froze up when I tried to print two documents at the same time. It wouldn't process the jobs, wouldn't cancel the jobs, just fucking hangs. It does this a lot. After fucking around for a bit with the 3 different printer settings apps that Windows has and trying to get it printing again, I gave up and just moved the docs over to my Debian computer to print from there with the same printer.I'm genuinely finished with Windows in absolutely every capacity. In the future if I need a normie-tier system for any reason I will actually buy a Mac, and for everything else I'm using Linux.
>>107982686Monopolies are bad. Any faults modern Windows has are due to the lack of proper competition, so Linux becoming a usable alternative can only be a good thing since it will force Windows to improve in whatever areas it is lacking, in order to retain its leadership.
>>107981603solved
>>107982720Mac was doing the "sign into your account" shit before anyone else, or rather, it was always the most aggressive with it, especially on the mobile end.Linux is a fancier "smart tv" OS, it's exempt from shit like that.
>>107981603do developers seriously do to everything theiranagers tell them to do? Even if it's unprincipled?
>>107982788im not mad windows is dying, its been a piece of shit for ages. I'm mad that im forced to use it for work related reasons and its getting worse by the day, I'm also mad that the cool shit Microsoft did in the hardware and gaming space was completely ruined.
>>107981615it's been publically traded for decades normally the executives don't openly shit in the faces of customer demands. I can agree modern capital markets are not the perfect way for companies to grow but don't make excuses for Microsoft by blaming the system. This is entirely on the arrogance and retardation of Microsoft.
>>107981603Managers.They are much like ChatGPT, overconfident while being clueless.I'm using a secondary Windows machine for only two 'niche' applications right now:movies, MadVR doesn't work on anything but Windows AFAIK, frame pacing on any non-MadVR machine is a cruel joke.games, I need to pipe my Nvidia GPU to onboard Intel to output interlaced resolutions.

>>107982932it's not racism if my mother and girlfriend openly talk about it.>>107982940>We at the point where the economy is in freefall>Once the AI hype bubble pops that's ityou sound melodramatic, probably too young to remember dotcom crash or 2008. I agree AI is a scam with all the forced copilot shit but the world isn't about to end.
>>107981603MS never went wrong. It's a product of the system it exists within.>>107982069They have no choice. Your company must have exponential growth under capitalism, or else it risks being bought by a competitor. To attain this growth, they have to find more and more ways to tie their customers to revenue streams. mspaint requiring a login is just one tiny way among many that MS attempts to make this happen.>>107981615There's no fundamental difference between publicly-traded and privately-traded companies. Both types of entities are still guided by the same forces, so they are constrained to operate similarly.
>>107981603>product enshitmentperhaps intent is to drive you to some open source crap that they already control. flagging a move away from "personal" computing at any rate. totally organic, the wisdom of the market, amazing consumers, freedom of choice, put all your fucking shit in the cloud goddammit
>>107982986it's just H1-B incompetence, stop copingsame reason the Boeing 737 MAX kept crashing
>>107982870it's that or be fired and replaced by the next h1b-brahmin
>>107982620>Meanwhile, windows is getting replaced by Linuxespecially in india
>>107982686>a new era of AR and handheld computing is dawningIs it? Cause I've heard that years ago, and it's all long dead.
>>107982985>Your company must have exponential growth under capitalism, or else it risks being bought by a competitor.How would you describe the end-game in this game? Exponential growth isn't possible forever, so what are the seams that ultimately pop?
>>107982640Have a look at desktop OS market share over the last 10-15 years. Windows has been on a continuous decline. Used to be like 90%+ Windows and nowadays it's around 70% IIRC. It's going to continue to drop, they certainly aren't doing a single thing whatsoever to improve Windows.
>>107982069There's no money in operating systems. M$ make their money in selling cloud service subscruptions now. Windows is little more than an advertising platform for those services.
>>107982932Its an objective observation that Indian CEOs are overseeing the sudden enshittification apocalypse. If they were all french id be shitting on france.
>>107982378>thats right. whites.Boomers specifically. Who for some reason think India is some exotic paradise.
>>107983212>It's going to continue to dropBetween ChromeOS finally merging with Android, Apple coming out with the new 12in $500 macbook, and gamers switching to Linux, it's about to drop like a stone.
>>107983049Thats VR, VR was never going to be anything beyond a niche, its for hardcore gamers. Meta is fucking retarded and expected your mom to put on a ridiculous headset to play videogames and hangout in temu mii verse while at work. AR glasses have always been the future.Handheld game consoles are what dislodged windows from its throne. For years prior to valve making a gaming handheld i was asking why microsoft wasnt making one, then instead of actually competing and cutting off steamOS they half assed it and outsourced the competitor. Now its too late.
>>107983377Bitch if your comeback is VR/AR pedantry, Apple was doing AR and it flopped just as hard. "Hardcore gamers" always laughed at this shit, and handheld consoles had been around for literal decades by the point the 'eck was even announced.
