Ooh, a pickle! Better throw another couple billion at lofty promises of technologic revolution from another AI company! That'll fix it!

Have they tried just building more data centers and assuming demand will follow?

Well we got windows 7 after last time, who knows, maybe they'll have a few less shit years again

Though until they rehire a QA team, that seems unlikely

The sooner MSFT starts developing useful features and bug fixes and stops making every single team create an AI feature, the better. Holy shit it’s exhausting.

What they need to do: reinvent themselves. What companies do when profits are down anyway: squeeze your customers who are fully vendor locked until they are dead.
