When did the decline of Windows begin

>>105814943 (OP)
around the time that Linux went corporate and non free.

>>105814943 (OP)
It began with Windows 8 when they decided to make it into a live service OS.

This isn't actually going to work, is it? should i even bother getting an IT related degree?

why take the gamble become and risk falling into lifelong debt? Just learn a trade and you are set for life.

Windows was always terrible.
Microsoft was always a terrible company.

i have romanticized white collar work my whole life. blue collar people are seen as subhuman. imagine putting on a cheesy dress shirt and tie, driving to work from your suburban home, and telling a corny joke to your coworkers at the water cooler "why did the duck cross the road? because the chicken was on vacation!", and they all laugh hysterically despite not actually finding it funny because they're incredibly superficial and would never show their real selves in person and you begin to wonder if you're living in the movie "they lived" or some kind of simulation.

i want that shit sooooo bad. also, i noticed your digits before you corrected your post.

It's always been up and down, ME was a disappointment, so was Vista, so was 8, now 11 is kinda shit.

Hopefully they use real AI and not jeets and ask chatGPT what customers actually want in windows and just design that.

when the yids infested it.

>>105814992
It will works because everyone, especially jeets, want to work for MS. Supply and demand fren.

Windows 8 was definitely the canary in the coal mine

>>105815159

kek microsoft all hands meeting to mourn shlomo

but that's exactly the type of work thats gradually being phased out in favor for cheap h1b holders/ foreign remote workers and of course Ai. You may be working towards something that might not exist anymore by the end of your studies.

Satya Nadella is replacing employees with Indians not "AI".

That doesn't sound that great, anon

>>105814943 (OP)
When OOBE became fucking webview, probably.

>>105814943 (OP)
The late 2000s, they turned too gay
The original Xbox was the last good thing Microsoft ever did

Why is this necessary, I thought AI is profitable already

>>105817337
Indians are the interim solution until Ai is developed enough to work fully autonimously.

>>105818517
it is very profitable. for hardware manufacturers and energy suppliers.
