Compute will become pervasive, as in Windows experiences are going to use a combination of capabilities that are local and that are in the cloud.
…what does Davuluri think “pervasive” means?
You get to mine crypto for microsoft?
Apparently “invasive but like, when it’s a good thing”.
ambient: we will do things without asking
pervasive: we want to be everywhere in your life
multi-modal: and by everywhere we mean FUCKING EVERYWHERE
The thought of relying on Microsoft services for something sends shivers down my spine.
Then I remember there are adults in this world using Outlook to keep their agendas, paying for MSN news, people BOUGHT MEDIA AND SOFTWARE from the built in stores Microsoft created and abandoned. I can’t imagine it.
The thought of relying on Microsoft services for something sends shivers down my spine.
government (including most chillingly, international governments) and hospitals pretty much all use microsoft tools - outlook, sharepoint, etc - to run huge parts of their organisations
that’s the truly scary part
Perfect translation
Wtf kinda language are they speaking? None of those words should be used to describe an operating system.
They are vibe coding on a higher level bro.
Vibe coding must be the easiest job in the world.
Eww
“hey guys, you have complained about our latest software, and we heard you. Our next release will literally rip out your genitals and you definitely can’t hide from it. 👍”
Never been happier to be 100% on Linux.
Switch about 6 months ago, so happy to read these articles and shrug at them now. I gotta say it’s weird there’s only like 2.5% of us
Microsoft could literally make “gargle the balls of Bill Gates” a login requirement and the masses would still use Windows.
Well, all tech is heading to fellatio-based authentication. Microsoft is just trying to beat Apple and Google to the market.
the way things are, things have to be completely unusable for the average user to care. people are still on reddit and twitter and facebook after all.
The average user no longer uses a PC at all.
There are lots of us, but we are not the majority. The average user is quite literally doing everything from their phone, and they don’t care about any OS.
but we’re talking about desktop users.
We are talking about operating system adoption.

So they’re shutting down Windows 10 after telling everyone Windows 10 would be the last windows operating system, and at the same time as them doing that they’re telling everybody that Windows 11 won’t last very long either, and they’re going to replace it with an AI nightmare.
Great marketing strategy.
I actually like this strategy, they’re taking hope away from people who think Windows alternates between good versions and bad versions by announcing they’re going to follow up a bad version with another bad version.
For some reason, corporate just can’t stop itself from slaughtering its own golden cow.
God I love Linux …
This guy’s got to know pervasive would come off bad. Ambient bad too
Maybe this would be enough for people really start to consider Linux.
pervasive
What? Why would anyone want this?
That was my first thought, like what the fuck, I don’t want my OS creeping on all my shit.
It won’t matter, they will serve slop and most people will happily eat it.
A lack of even basic technology literacy hurts everyone so much. Most people have zero clue how their stuff works and zero interest to learn. Its easy to manipulate an ignorant population as we see again and again.
My favorite simple example is “do you shit with the door open? No? OK then privacy does have value–for all involved.”
And most of all, even more invasive.
Dear Microsoft.
Your operating system only exists because I have a need to click and type into business things in a quiet office.
Please stop fucking this up.
That is a lot of words to say it will be shittier and have more ads…
The company that’s obsessed with putting popup tutorials in every fucking app and os function? Ambient my ass, stop lying.
