Probably because they realize there is no demand or use for it, hopefully. Maybe, just maybe, we reached the point where it needs to justify its value and that the time spent integrating it is just not worth it. And last of all xbox is on its final leg, i think its detrimental that whatever the next step they take will have to be a win.

The AI execs moving may just be them seeing the writing on the wall and abandoning that ship before it sinks.

If I'm not mistaken, most of Microsoft's revenue is derived from enterprise, and corporate customers are largely just hands down not willing to accept the risk that comes with premature AI integration. MS is probably also recognizing this, because it seems like they're backing off Copilot across the board

I miss Windows Media Center. It was so great back in the day.

I don't think Amazon has much of a chance. People like their Alexa for the simple stuff. We had a free trial of Alexa+. On day 2 my wife was complaining about how slow it was, and by day 4 my 13 year old daughter had figured out herself how to switch back, because she hated Alexa+ so much.

The windows phone they came out with a while back - actually wasn't too bad. But they dropped the idea like a turd in a leaky bag, if they'd kept going and improving it they might have a competitor to android and apple by now.

You're missing the point. The important thing about AI is to cram it in every single part of everyone's life without their consent, so you can tell your investors "see? number goes up, everybody uses AI".

Who cares about making the experience better? It's just about drowning people in it and pretend there is a need for it.

You can get it to play the game for you.

I have it. They say you can ask it to solve game puzzles. It seems useless and like a way to have your microphone on and your screen constantly recording.
