Windows, the first ever sloperating system.
I like somethings sloppy, but definitely not my OSes
It is a cold dark night at Microsoft Headquarters. The moon is blacked out by the clouds and rain and thunder beat relentlessly against the office windows.
The head UX engineer stares at the prompt nervously. He hesitates, his whole life has been building up to this point. He is going to control where windows is going and shape the lives of billions of people.
“You got this,” He mumbles to himself, “you know what to do.”
He grabs a screenshot of his desktop and types the fateful words. Make this desktop make more money
The AI says processing…
Windows obsession with destroying their own file explorer is bizarre.
The thing is that if MS concentrated on providing a bulletproof experience, a sane licensing mode, with a low, cheap, entry bar, they would just keep being the top dog forever.
Now they are just giving market share to Linux and MacOS for free.
it really is wild that they’re pushing away so many people, who otherwise would just sit with them forever, just because profits must always increase
like all they have to do is stop making things worse and people will stay with them and continue joining them. that’s literally all they have to do. and they can’t do it.
Most public companies and governments focus entirely on short term wins with zero consideration for the future.
Microslop is no different.
The current version of macOS, Tahoe, is also atrocious. It’s completely unusable on a desktop, it feels like they want to make it work like an iPad.
For the better or worse, the only good OS is now Linux.
Well, the only piece of Apple tech I currently own is an iPad. I bought the thing through a pretty nice offer from my telco, and for a pretty specific use case, running the Affinity suite on the move without lugging my beefy laptop around.
When I saw how they went full idiot with their glass shit for the UI (hellooo, Windows Aero), I stopped allowing updates. The fact that to reduce transparency and effects to make the thing half usable you have to go into accessibility settings says it all.
Glad I moved to Linux recently, windows 11 has been atrocious
Never going back.
Same!
All they had to do is built an actually good search into explorer, they didn’t do that for 20 years and now they force this trash on us… Good thing I ditched Windows last year and soon will sell all my Microsoft shares, that company has no future or vision it’s disgusting
MS is likely spent all thier R&D on AI, and building datacenters, they want to somehow justfiy recoup the losses from the “profitless LLM”
At this pace Microsoft will change Windows’ name to Copilot. That’s my prediction.
They’re already changing the name of MS Office to “Microsoft Copilot App”. So when you use Copilot inside Microsoft Office on Windows, you’ll be running Copilot in the Copilot App on Copilot OS.
“Microsoft Windows App” confused the shit out of me earlier. I only realised it was Remote Desktop when I read the description, and I only did that because I was wondering what the fuck Microsoft Windows App is.
“I know we said Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows you’d need, but we really mean it this time with Windows 11. Introducing our new operating system… Compost, I mean, Copilot!”
Microsoft One Copilot would bean incredibly Microsoft thing to call Windows
Microsoft CopilOSt
This is just pure idiocy and desperation at this point.
I’m surprised at this. If I was given the job to fuck up windows, I wouldn’t be able to get such ludicrous ideas
I cannot understand why a user would ever want this
Holy shit, just fucking stop
stop smoking? how is this relevant ?? ;)
Linux has been very nice to me. I will look back fuck shitdows.
Install Linux Problem Solved.
Genuine question. How does all of this useless nonsense make them money? Is it all just from loans? Are they just saying “look at all the AI we’re doing” and the investors are just desperate to give them more money?
I just cannot fathom how they profit from all of this. They’re spending so much time doing this. For what? What is the business motive for doing this, if not to get bigger loans from their investors?
Copilot is falling very far behind all of the other big AI players in the space that it’s actually laughable. The main reason they’re implementing it into every Windows first party application is so they can boost their “user” numbers to satisfy investors. Every time you open Explorer, boom that counts as you “using” Copilot.
I asked DeepSeek something the other day and it actually admitted that it didn’t know the answer and offered advice on how I could find out. I was actually pretty impressed by that
Is the share price going up? All they care about is the share price.
Down last few months, but overall strong upwards trend over the last few years.
Nadella’s buddies are all making AI garbage, so he thinks he has to make AI garbage too. Because he’s massively uncreative.
And so all the managing leads think “Nadella likes AI! I must find a way to shove AI into my product so that my product/fiefdom doesn’t get the axe! I might even get a bonus! Or promotion!!!”
And so all the coding slaves are tasked with shoehorning AI into every Microsoft product, app, and/or service.
Soon in the Microslop support forums: “Please help, I asked Copilot for the photos of my late grandma and it deleted my entire C drive”.
The agent has decided you need more OneDrive storage. Your credit card will be charged. If you disagree with the agent, grandma’s pictures will be deleted. Comply and rent Batman the Dark Knight Arises on the Windows Store.

It probably “saw” the trash icon somewhere and some “deep thought” model concluded that erasing everything was a good idea.
How many times can they shoot their own foot? They must aim like Star Troopers…
