    Useless? Microsoft was on its way out under Balmer. Microsoft was a joke in the tech world before Satya. He completely turned Microsoft around and made it a powerhouse again. His stance on AI is flawed but I think useless is a bit of an exaggeration.

    A "powerhouse"? With active revolt by Windows 10 users choosing pirated LTSC versions or Linux rather than updating to Windows 11, and releasing debloat and removal scripts of their features daily? With a gaming division that committed PR and corporate suicide? With an AI division that is a sinking black hole of war chest capital that has reaped questionable returns outside of state surveillance apparatuses in Israel? That "powerhouse"?

    Windows isn't their powerhouse, Azure is. They don't give a shit about consumers.

    Their AI division is equally aimed at enterprise and consumer audiences, and rejected by both (again, outside of state surveillance contexts). Additionally, Azure may be under fire from external regulators and nations desiring data sovereignty, and competitors who just are able to outperform (AWS/Cloudflare)

    It's so fascinating to see the changes in one company's logo over the years.

    A bunch of microsoft logos from the 70s, 80s, 90s and today but instead of saying Microsoft all of them spell Microslop in the vibe of the original logos.

    We would really be glad to do that. Now, if you guys could just stop showing it to our faces all the times, that would be great.👍

    Uh, can you really be an influencer if you are the CEO of the company that is pushing the product you are influencing? I really have no idea what is going on any more and increasingly want nothing to do with any of it.
