    Microsoft is a victim of it’s own success.

    If they continued to support Windows 10 and basic local MS Office installs, how would they, ya know, make more money?

    Most of us would still be perfectly happy with Windows 7 and Office 2010.

    I don’t need OneDrive. I don’t need Copilot. My company doesn’t need Azure. But Microsoft needs someone to buy their goods and services.

    What else is a massive organization going to do? Rest on it’s laurels?

      Morons keep opting to use products Microsoft and similar shit companies release, so it’s kinda self inflicted damage.

      You didn’t describe a problem exclusive to Miscrosft. You described the entire problem with Capitalism. Endless growth is fiction; yet corporations are beholden to shareholders that demand endless growth.

      And yet, they don’t improve the quality of windows. Bugs that have existed in Windows 7, 10, and even 11 go unfixed. Features that would make windows more secure aren’t implemented but hey, copilot takes screenshots out our screen and stores everything creating a massive security issue and Microsoft just pushes it down users throats for profit?

      I get that Microsoft needs to make money, but the way they are going about it is stupid and should be studied because the more they push copilot and other privacy invading “features” the more they force users to switch to Mac or Linux.

        Nah, either they’re going to improve things till they no longer need improvement; or they’re lying about making improvements and just dragging their feet for profit.
