Now I understand why at each windows 11 update, they introduce more bugs than ever

So the CEO is trying to tell investors that they are saving money by not paying employees. But to me it sounds more like: we are letting our sub-par products continue to enshitify, and any other company using AI to program will be equal competition.

    I think he's trying to say that their AI writes code good enough for Microsoft. Which is a message to other business leaders that your company too can benefit from copilot, just hand over your credit card!

    Microsoft has absolutely gotten worse in the consumer space, but that isn't really their business these days.

    Windows 11 was much much shittier, idk about the rest of their products, I haven't used them.

    And I switched over to steamOS, so I won't be using any of their products again.

    Enshittification, also known as crapification and platform decay, is a pattern in which online products and services decline in quality over time. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, and finally degrade their services to users and business customers to maximize profits for shareholders.

    Yes, we are in the third phase: service to user is free diving in order to increase money to M$ shareholders?

    Have you not noticed that the Windows search has become a meme for being really useful in windows seven and useless in newer versions because it started

    1. Searching the web and asking an ai for answers without you wanting that
    2. In consequence syphoning out each and every search promt
    3. Displaying fucking ads in the fucking search results

    And that's just one example that's obvious enough to become a meme

    BTW: any form of making a Microsoft product worse for profit of Microsoft is enshittification since they have both endusers and sellers of products that only work on windows/in the Microsoft ecosystem locked in with significant costs tied to leaving.

    You said this a lot, but you seem more like you took offence than like you're moving on.

    It comes across as you dismissing people's points because they didn't debate by the rules you invented for them to speak.

    It's not a computer science word, it's an IT word, and I'm afraid you're going to have to live with people being a bit imprecise with it.

    Why not link to the article coining the term? It's well written and explains well.

    I've read the article. Search, Notepad, Teams, Excel.

    Outlook is stable
