Are you really being "left behind" when everyone else is going the wrong way?
I'm really baffled because this is super easy to fix.
Step 1. Pull all the AI bloat out of Windows 11. Make a clean, compatible, and user friendly OS out of the Windows brand.
Step 2. Spin CoPilot into it's own OS. Go crazy with your "Every app is just a different AI presentation of your data." Make the AI in there all powerful. Allow users to remote to the OS and run the same AI regardless of the platform.
Step 3. Print money
You're saying they're going "the wrong way", but from the standpoint of a publicly traded company it's literally the best way possible.
You promise to give $1million to Nvidia, Nvidia promises to give $1million to you - wam, bam, suddenly your stock market valuation's up, people are throwing their money at you, and you didn't even have to call your bank to make any transfers.
They're literally printing money out of thin air.
That it will all crash and burn at some point? Who cares? If everyone goes down, you can blame the market. If you're not in on the bandwagon while everyone else is printing money, you get sacked by the board of directors.
That's all there is to it.
The problem isnt co pilot. Its co pilot being rammed in incredibly stupid ways into every possible product.
More importantly, its cramming it in everywhere when basis windows 11 sucks. Explorer sucks, search sucks, performance sucks, Updates suck.
I will stop you there because Copilot is downright horrible compared to other LLMs lol
I wish they would spin CoPilot into its own APPLICATION. Same for Edge. Don't deeply integrate them to the point that the whole system falls apart when they are missing. They should be optional. Allow them to inter-operate with other apps, sure, but don't make everything depend on everything else.
