But just in case, let’s lay off 5-10% of our workforce again this quarter just to further drive home how profitable we are!
Found Copilot randomly installed on my computer after the latest update. Couldn't uninstall it fast enough
inb4 they name System32 to Copilot so you can’t delete it.
Watch me!

same here. I uninstalled so much bloatware that automatically installed in the past six months without my permission
they're driving us away
Imagine being in charge of one of the wealthiest corporations to have ever existed, and yet unwilling to write out a statement without a fucking llm
It must be hard to admit he spent billions on a slop machine. Sunk cost fallacy is probably one of many things they're fighting.
It will become the norm. Our CEO uses ChatGPT a lot. He used it to write a Christmas email to the whole company. All of his correspondence it devoid of any personality.
Your company can save a lot of money by replacing him with an used laptop that only opens chatGPT on startup.
You are assuming that they have a personality to begin with.
I love this for them. They refuse to change course so it is on them.
They worked hard for it, and earned it.
Do you know why it's called MicroSoft? The founders and CEOs decided to name the company after their penises.
🙄
CEO proves that CEOs can be replaced by AI.
The company is now run by Copilot and its in charge of naming products.
The rdp client was renamed "Windows App", remember? So this is a step up.
It's so fucking bad.
I'm currently having an issue on my work machine where my Windows App doesn't close properly, and will hang the next time I try to connect to a virtual desktop unless I kill it in the task manager.
Imagine the crazy vague answers you get when you search for "Windows App won't close".
The rdp client was renamed “Windows App”, remember?
Wait, let me say that this is not accurate without defending Microsoft (fuck them). The rdp client hasn't been renamed, to my knowledge. What was renamed to Windows app was the other product very confusingly named "remote desktop client", which was a Microsoft Store app meant to access things like Azure Virtual Desktop, their cloud Windows service, etc. Yes, incredibly confusing product naming from Microsoft, as usual.
Haha that is actually even more funny. :)
True! :)

I don't understand why shareholders keep this guy's CEO he's absolutely terrible at his job. They need to go back to having an actual engineer as CEO, someone who understands what the hell is going on and doesn't keep getting distracted by the next shiny bauble.
But engineer don't make dividends go up. Engineer know to reinvest, and stock holder sad not get more money.
Didn’t he start Azure? Like the reason MS have so much money still.
At making shareholder value he seems pretty good at that and that’s all that matters.
Didn't he start Azure?
Nah, that was Dave Cutler.
Not correct either. Maybe my wording was poor, several people were there at the start of Azure.
Nadella is the reason it’s the second largest cloud provider next to AWS.
But he didn't "start" it, at least not according to Wikipedia
No. But as I said my wording was poor. I should have said Nadella made Azure the player it is today and thus how rich Microsoft are.
That’s not nothing And it shows he makes money for shareholders. Why wouldn’t you want this guy as CEO if that’s your aim.

What are you talking about? Under this guy's tenure the MSFT share price skyrocketed. What else would shareholders care about? He's doing an excellent job, as far as they're concerned.
IMO, Satya isn’t the same anymore. His disabled child died, and he gave a speech about pushing forward to investors at the time but no longer cares about accessibility. Now, he’s got ai-induced psychosis so he doesn’t care about azure, office, Xbox, linkedin, GitHub, etc. Unless it has Copilot in it, because he’s invested in openAI.
Mate, have you seen the valuation of companies handling AI or hardware that AI requires?
Shareholders are creaming their pants any time someone says "agentic" or "AI".
Oh dear. That sounds like a super-villain origin story. "I just wanted to develop an AI capable of bringing back my dead child to life!" Another broken soul with too much power...

"Micro$haft" and "Micro$hit", two former snarl names aimed at Microsoft, got a real challenger.
(The dollar signs are intentional.)
