Another YouTube anti Windows 11 "rant." The reason I post is because he read the Nadella crap about how we need to "get over" calling AI "slop." I'm almost positive that post was written by AI because it sounds like an infomercial, it's redundant and it's about as clear as mud.

I'll just quote one paragraph. (If Nadella actually wrote this crap, he's part of the "garbage in" in the AI process.)
And lastly, we need to make deliberate choices on how we diffuse this
technology in the world as a solution to the challenges of people and
planet. For AI to have societal permission it must have real world eval
impact. The choices we make about where we apply our scarce energy,
compute, and talent resources will matter. This is the socio-technical
issue we need to build consensus around.
As the "ranter" says in the video, "just sell a product people want, it's
not your job to 'change the world.'" These rich billionaires sure are full
of themselves. They actually think they *should* tell other people how to live. Dumb sons of bitches.

I love the contradiction: we will force artificial intelligence on
everyone, which requires us to create more nuclear power plants because
of the amount of resources it uses, as a solution to our scarce energy
and resources.

I just spoke about this with my wife. I was making fun of the name
Microsoft was using for Office going forward and mentioned that it seems that Co-Pilot is a failure with users. She corrected me and said that companies are all going to a company they trust for AI, and that is Microsoft. Apparently, in the financial field at least, Co-Pilot is a tremendous success even if it isn't with general users. Meanwhile,
Microsoft is increasingly ignoring the general user in favour of business ones and making tremendous profits. Considering that, it only makes sense that home users who want to be catered to move to Apple. Those who don't want to pay the Apple tax might as well remain on x86-64 but move to
Linux.

AI is great! If there is anything that can bridge the abysses in the US it will be a hatred for AI. Screw those stupid No Kings rallies. No AI!

I don't know how well Microslop is doing with Windows 11. From December
2024 to December 2025 they lost 9% of their market share in the United States. It dropped from 68% to 59%. Meanwhile "unknown" rose from 3% to
7.5%. And Linux rose to over 5%, from a little over 4%. MacOS and OSX (combined) rose from a little under 21% to over 24%. Another year like
this and Windows will have dropped below 50% market share in the U.S. In December, 2009 they were at 86.5%. With few exceptions it's been fairly steadily downward ever since. Apple has also dropped from a high of
about 34% in June, 2023.
I guess we'll see what happens in the next few months.
I still wonder what "unknown" is in these charts.

Admittedly, I can't imagine what "unknown" is either unless it's Linux but the people are running through browsers that don't identify what kind of system they're running on. It doesn't even matter. What does matter is
that Microsoft has really turned on its users to a point that they might indeed take a look at Linux, if only to hold onto the hardware they bought in 2018 for a little bit longer. Others will turn to it because they hate
AI whereas others will turn to the Mac because they simply don't like Windows in general. A few will probably buy new Windows 11-capable
computers to play some multiplayer games which require them to install the anti-cheat systems which only work on Windows, but those of us who don't care about multiplayer games will try Linux to see if it is true that it performs better than Windows on AMD GPUs. Either way, I don't expect a
mass migration, but going to something like 7% is not outside the realm of possibility.

I don't doubt that there are a few agencies abandoning Windows, but they
all inevitably have the same problem: the professional software they rely
on isn't available for Linux. Some might try to get it working with Wine
or actually have equivalents, but most are probably stuck in Windows no matter how they feel about it.

I just spoke about this with my wife. I was making fun of the name >>>>>> Microsoft was using for Office going forward and mentioned that it >>>>>> seems that Co-Pilot is a failure with users. She corrected me and

I don't know how well Microslop is doing with Windows 11. From
December 2024 to December 2025 they lost 9% of their market share in >>>>> the United States. It dropped from 68% to 59%. Meanwhile "unknown"
rose from 3% to 7.5%. And Linux rose to over 5%, from a little over
4%. MacOS and OSX (combined) rose from a little under 21% to over
24%.
Another year like this and Windows will have dropped below 50%
market share in the U.S. In December, 2009 they were at 86.5%. With
few exceptions it's been fairly steadily downward ever since. Apple
has also dropped from a high of about 34% in June, 2023.
I guess we'll see what happens in the next few months.
I still wonder what "unknown" is in these charts.
Admittedly, I can't imagine what "unknown" is either unless it's
Linux but the people are running through browsers that don't identify
what kind of system they're running on. It doesn't even matter. What
does matter is that Microsoft has really turned on its users to a
point that they might indeed take a look at Linux, if only to hold
onto the hardware they bought in 2018 for a little bit longer. Others
will turn to it because they hate AI whereas others will turn to the
Mac because they simply don't like Windows in general. A few will
probably buy new Windows 11-capable computers to play some
multiplayer games which require them to install the anti-cheat
systems which only work on Windows, but those of us who don't care
about multiplayer games will try Linux to see if it is true that it
performs better than Windows on AMD GPUs. Either way, I don't expect
a mass migration, but going to something like 7% is not outside the
realm of possibility.
Apparently Windows 11 migration has decreased in the last couple of
months. Windows 10 (even Windows 8) have *gained* users. Windows 11
usage (compared to other Windows' versions) is now hovering below 51%
(down from almost 54%), Windows 10 is at about 44% (up from 42%). I
have no idea how many Windows users have gone to Linux, Macs or
Chromebooks because of Windows 11's "AI slop." (Even Windows 7 moved
up from 2.5% to almost 4% this year in the Windows' market.)

A couple more videos. (And I realize these are estimates, but the
trend is not good for Microslop's Windows 11.)
AI "slop" (which is a nicer word than I would use)...

I don't doubt that there are a few agencies abandoning Windows, but
they all inevitably have the same problem: the professional software
they rely on isn't available for Linux. Some might try to get it
working with Wine or actually have equivalents, but most are probably
stuck in Windows no matter how they feel about it.
Yeah, but the copilot crap is making applications, like 365 Office (or whatever they're calling it now), less and less useful. Microslop may actually be driving corporations away from their own products.
What happens when (if) Windows drops below 50% on the desktop? At what
point do these "necessary" applications start being made for Linux or
Android PCs? Or maybe they actually go defunct. (IBM at one point was
"too big to fail" rCo
where are they now?) It won't happen overnight, but Microslop is
seriously pissing off their users with AI crap. Dropping below 50% of
desktop market share is now a real possibility (down from about 90% at
one time). This is huge.
If you watched one of those videos, hospitals HAVE to move away from
Windows because of patient confidentiality concerns. Countries like
Brazil, China and South Korea are moving away from Microslop over the
fear of being spied on. This was a concern with Windows 10, but Windows
11 is the catalyst that is driving them away.
We'll see what happens. But these articles are not coming from fringe
outfits any more. They're coming from PC World and Windows Central.
They're responding to their users' angst. Windows is becoming a useless
mess. And, instead of fixing it, Microslop is pushing their AI crap
harder and harder.
