Great, so windows 9 is going to come out?

Translation: They going to try to “marketing” their way out of this hole.

Nothing about Windows or Microsoft will fundamentally change.

Let me guess: instead of improving their products, they're going to get the US security industrial complex to silence the critics.

Are they, tho?

Microsoft is working to rebuild trust in their turd prison

Ooohh wow, they are? I'm so happy about that, I can't wait to get my hands on their turd and be told what to do and be limited to only their wishes and pay them through the nose!

I mean who wouldn't want to work with a vibe coded piece of shit that can only run on the most expensive hardware? Who wouldn't trust a company who left security holes open for half a year causing the US government to be hacked by China, just because they didn't wanted to look bad nad potentially lose money?

The company that constantly non stop has done everything to get themselves more money, at the cost of software quality l, consumer sanity and everything good since it's founding some 5 decades ago is now telling me they really do care about me? The company that wants to add advertising into fucking basic software like operating systems juuuuust to squeeze some more money out of decades old products, that wants to monitor your every move so they can use and sell your data, wants .... Me? They real care about me, the end user?

Go get pounded by a bag of umbrella dicks you motherfuckers

Could've fooled me...

good luck with that.

Hey Microslop use Cortana to replace your shit CEO and the whole C-Suite

Yah, that's bullshit. They hate their users and want them dead but buying things somehow.

Too little, too fucking late!

... genuinely, how can they possibly expect to regain or have any trust after turning W11 into a constant wiretap via Copilot, that spams ads all up in your OS in every place, and then also just handing over the bitlocker master keys to the FBI?

You would have to be very uninformed or delusional at this point to think that Windows and privacy/security exist in the same universe.

The only thing they have going for them is inertia.

And they're now hitting the point where backlash against them is snowballing much faster than they could possibly reverse course on their own internal inertia and actually make any real changes.

And yes that applies to their consumer facing shit as well as B2B.

I wonder if we're past the point of no return re: the trust thermocline: https://mastodon.social/@garius/109279394369832433

And people in hell want ice water.

Fuck 'em

The biggest problem is that even if they fix it, it will take ages for the people that left to believe it is actually fixed. We can't take MS's word for it... And even then we will have no trust they won't just slip right back into this hellscape a couple years (or months) down the line.

Ha. I thought this was from The Onion the first time I scrolled past it. What a hilarious joke. I hope it back fires so people and countries continue moving away from Windows.

Make it less shit dumbass

Talk is cheap.

I bet more AI and ads will make people trust it even more

Doubt

Lol. Buhbyeeeeee

Fire your current dipshit in chief, issue abject apologies and realise you peaked with 7.

Looking back, these will be the times that trump destroyed america and microsoft destroyed itself. Maybe america destroyed itself and trump was nothing more than the guy who squeezed the pimple.
