Copilot has the highest enterprise adoption of any AI currently, with GH Copilot in 2nd (although that may change with the recent pricing changes). Windows 11 sucks but is still 70+% of desktop OS market share runs basically every single F500 company.
Microsoft has a public image problem, but they are still winning (in the enterprise) regardless.
The mistake is thinking that MS gives a crap about the individual consumer, they don't, that's not their customer.
Jokes on you, they didn't learn the first time, they won't learn now.
It is like Western gaming studios burning billions into slope game while watching other Western gaming studios losing billions by doing the same thing and yet, do it anyway I guess because "this time is gonna be different".
These companies forget the most important thing: You cannot protect what you don't know.
Cool, agentic AI can write code for you, and they are pleased with what it delivered, yet, nobody talks about running scanning tools to check for vulnerabilities, broken code, unmaintained code.
It is indeed faster to ask an AI service for an example than reading endless posts, but boy oh boy, it loves to add unnecessary code.
It will be beautiful watching all the companies falling one after another, big companies are already burning their annual AI budget within half 2026, they thought they were saving money by firing people only to spend 10x more with AI tokens hahaha
This is a bit of a tangent but can you explain the Western gaming studios analogy a bit further? It's not something I'm familiar with but am curious (I get the idea and broad parallel, but actually would love to better understand the details).
With US techs harvesting people's data, subscription mess, cars that are no longer cars but computers on wheel, and now AI, even folks with bare minimal knowledge are self hosting things.
All you need is a second hand dirty cheap Dell SFF computer from eBay, install Proxmox on it and even if it comes with only 8GB, you can still spin up a few Proxmox LXC containers (small like Docker but far better).
People are going back to buying physical media, old model of things, wired headphones is all time high.
MP3 players are all time high, no phone, no subscription, just music.
90s, early 2000s is so back and is a good thing, people themselves are putting a hard break on technology.
I must add that I self-host FreshRSS to fetch news and GitHub repos updates so I can update my stuff, everything in-house, controlled by me.
RSS makes life so much easier, some only provide the bare minimal while others, provide the whole post so I can read everything right there without opening a website.
Also, some podcast support it so I have a list of podcast that I list and can go back without having to go from website to website.
They lack experience when working within real environments while being mentored, within a virtual environment where they have no skill to know what to do, just make things even more complicated.
AI is not to blame here, but their own lack of experience which does require exposure to real environments.
Okay, things were different back then but right now you only use Microsoft products if you agree to never own it.
Microsoft Office?? LibreOffice is opensource, has everything from Word to PowerPoint, it is free, and just works.
Microsoft Windows?? Linux is free, the majority of folks use their Windows PC to Watch Netlix, YouTube, social media, write a thing or two.
Distro Linux such as Mint Cinnamon is lightweight, fast, stable, I can use it to 3D design, 3D print, coding, video edition, playing, you name it, it all just works.
The main problem I see is folks following hype like CachyOS, Ubuntu (dead dsitro harvesting users data), Arch, then have bad experience and blame Linux.
Basic exams cost $100K? Citation definitely needed. You either have a wild idea of “basic” or have no clue.
The ACA baseline plan has to cover a yearly checkup, basic screenings for things like blood pressure and cholesterol, and even more in depth screenings like colonoscopies or pap smears; all at 0 out of pocket cost.
Since Microsoft took over GitHub, everything went to shit.
GitHub, dead!
Windows, dead!
Xbox, dead!
Now security analysts blacklisted for disclosuring vulnerabilities.
Wait until the big players decide to ditch Microsoft altogether, I mean, why help when you are penalized for it??
With Microsoft doing so many things wrong, and users migrating to Linux because even Windows softwares have become evil, and security analysts jumping ship, let me tell ya, Copilot or even Mythos won't save you. AI is as good as the data it was trained on while humans adapt on the fly.
They didn't learn with CoPilot having no adoption.
They didn't learn with Windows 11 being completely useless
They didn't learn with GitHub having security breach left and right
Some companies never learn I guess.
