    Microsoft pumps the brakes on Copilot AI to refine its experiences in Windows 11 based on what users 'ACTUALLY' want

    I used Cortana a lot back when I had a Windows Phone, it was great. As of now my only use for AI is drawing dumb images to send to my friends (when it actually generates them and doesn’t end up self censoring)

    Why pay for Microsoft's exorbitantly priced subscription for Windows 10 when you can get a threefold cheaper upgrade for Windows 11?

    You said it yourself. Flawed design, ridiculous requirements, and ad creep. That said, if you do need a Win11 license that’s dirt cheap, great offer

    The Windows 10 Settings app is the latest attack vector Microsoft will use to push you to sign up for a cloud account

    The Apple crowd is the loudest, and defending the tantrum Apple is making instead of simply allowing IPAs to be sideloaded here in the EU is just corporate shilling with no benefit, but they're far from being not alone in this. Basically any service (and by extension the company running it)...

    The Windows 10 Settings app is the latest attack vector Microsoft will use to push you to sign up for a cloud account

    Microsoft's latest Copilot coercion forced me through the five stages of grief over the death of the Windows 11 desktop

    Spoken like a true corporate lackey. While yes, it's legally their right to do so, that doesn't mean it isn't still a pushy, annoying tactic that devalues Windows and shouldn't be happening in a paid for product. The fact people are too lazy/invested in the system to switch to something else...

    I actually hate the new Outlook for Windows

    Please do not do the old OE dirty like that. It was a far better program than Outlook (new) can ever hope to be

    Windows Notepad will FINALLY support these basic text editing features

    I've never really been a WordPad user, but I did use to use notepad for stripping copied content of any formatting, hyperlinks or other garbage; I've since moved to notepad++ for such matters. Those programs also served as guidelins on how a Windows application was supposed to lool like and...

    Windows Notepad will FINALLY support these basic text editing features

    My thoughts exactly. They are ruining the Notepad Experience™ with all these features, when they should’ve revamped WordPad and use it as a WinUI (or whatever today’s name is) showcase. Notepad was great because it was barebones and featureless. They should’ve stopped at the unix end line...

    i noticed, I spent way too much time (any time greater than 0 seconds) to revert the idiotic auto update on launch
