    Directions on Microsoft[^]:

    Not a day goes by when we don’t hear about a new AI-based innovation in the Microsoft ecosystem: Copilots for everything, Azure ML, Azure OpenAI, to name a few. But…amid all the AI hype has Microsoft deprioritized the thing many of us depend on every day?

    The joys of "backward compatibility"

      Seeing how many news of things getting broke, non asked features that biggest part won't ever use and (intentionally?) complicating easy things... I am not sure where to classify that quote: Bad or Good news?

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        No. They are totally focused on Windows Cloud.

          I disagree with the article. Most of the examples he cited were problems caused by non-Microsoft applications behaving badly during installation, run-time, or both. How the :elephant: is Microsoft responsible for fixing that? (I'm completely ignoring the fact the moron has a 256GB C: drive)

          Software Zen: delete this;

            Microsoft need to step up and refuse to certify for Windows any hardware where the installers don't properly clean up older version. Oracle got into huge problems with Java because they weren't cleaning up older versions during upgrades. All vendors should be given the short notice that failure to clean up when they upgrade will result in their product installers being blocked by default on Windows. This goes for applications as well. Office used to be a huge abuser of disk space but at least now cleans up after itself. Chrome doesn't. I've seen 500 GB hard drives fill up with Chrome generated temp files.
