MS has lost their way. They used to focus on scenarios. Now it's just AI everywhere but how does it fit into scenarios? For example: AI can easily parse out details from an event announcement in email or a web site. However, it can't put it on my calendar with one click. This is something I do multiple times a week. C'mon!
The scenario is stockholders want to see an even bigger profit this quarter. That's all that matters. Right now stockholders like to see AI, so that's what Microsoft does.
Satya doesn't actually know what people want, he just knows what makes him feel smart.
Today I tried to solve a bit locker problem that was keeping one of our workstations from booting properly I use copilot for about an hour and a half maybe two and got frustrated so I decided to give Google Gemini a try. I explained to Gemini the steps that I’ve taken with copilot and Gemini actually came up with fresh ideas for Microsoft product and fix the damn problem is that not enough said?
Honestly FUCK MICROSOFT..
Their pace of DevSomeOps.
To a certain extent, slapping Copilot to everything is what I’ve seen so far. I think there are two camps in my view
— MSFT is below the Competition
Windows, Edge, Xbox are products that I’d consider below the competition. Here bolting Copilot to every little thing is a lost cause. Until the product improves, this just noise and adds no value (maybe noise and frustration)
— MSFT is on-par the competition
Excel, Word, Teams are products I’d consider at par with its competitors (at times better). Here it makes total sense to add Copilot and attempt at enhancing the user experience.
It’s unclear which camp is the larger one, but AI shouldn’t dictate how the foundational product experience grows. Foundational product experience should grow regardless.
I think this is a fair assessment. Adding AI to products people already dislike does NOT improve their market perception.
Can’t agree with Edge. It is superb browser. I like it better than others even on iOS.
Did they really ever have the basics, its been the same ad splattered data mining bs since windows 8.
Honestly though their weird obsession with AI has really gotten on everyone's nerves at this point like how about focus on fixing issues in Windows 11 instead

“AI can’t do something I want to do so it sucks.” - fucking everyone
When you ignore your customer voice and make them swallow AI without making the product better, customers tend to say that AI didn’t fix my issue, so why not fix the issue we had reported in the first place ?
