Microsoft's AI CEO, Mustafa Suleyman, has shared his opinion after recent pushback from users online that are becoming frustrated with Copilot and AI on Windows. In a post on X, Suleyman says he's mind blown by the fact that people are unimpressed with the ability to talk fluently with an AI computer.

His post comes after Windows president Pavan Davuluri was recently met with major backlash from users online for posting about Windows evolving into an agentic OS. His post was so negatively received that he was forced to turn off replies, though Davuluri did later respond to reassure customers that the company was aware of the feedback.

Nope. Ballmer is and always will be the all time king R. He's the dude that had MS pilot away from handheld devices because nobody will ever use cell phones. This was when MS was the only credible mobile OS. He oversaw Vista, he oversaw 8, both of which were complete disasters.

    Glad I covered my tracks with a well placed 'might' lol.

    I forgot about that idiot and would love to go back to forgetting them.

    Though not a CEO, I'd say Don Mattrick made even dumber decisions than Ballmer. When asked flat out saying that if active duty military can't use the new always online console they can use the last gen console or get fucked was... a choice.

    Hard to put a stupid offhand remark re vidja games on the same level as a man that handed mobile computing to Apple and later Google, who wasn't even trying to compete, was just strategically releasing Android as a market disruptor.

    It wasn't just the one offhand comment. His entire attitude was "always online and a mandatory camera attached to your device are just how it is, loaning games is gone forever, and you're stupid for even questioning any of it." His decisions singlehandedly tanked the popularity of the Xbox brand so hard they're still feeling the effects one whole console generation later.

    I feel you, I just also think the financial loss resulting from the respective decisions makes Ballers idiocy unrivaled.

    There's a big difference between killing momentum in a gaming concern vs what was lost by completely mismanaging, bungling, and squandering the opportunity to dominate the mobile computing market.

    I'm not really disagreeing with you just looking at relative damages.
