    MS is so fucking bad at this that, when it wants you to use a certain product, it smears it over and over on your snout until you get a negative reaction from just seeing it. It was the same thing with WMP and then Edge.

    From a business standpoint, this doesn’t sound like the worst idea. OpenAI figured out how to make people addicted to their chatbots, after all, and they successfully implemented the strategy of “harm people, apologize later.”

    I used tonreally like Microsoft but god more and more I want to just get away from them. I am seriously considering moving off my M365 family plan, which I really like, but mostly use as a giant cloud ball and good fucking god whynis the One Drive app on Android so fucking bad?

    They are following the Google Path for me. Some 20 years ago, I had a dude at work call me the biggest Google fan they know. I have, for theblast 10-15 years now, used Google as little as possible and strongoy advocate against them for being spyware. Microsoft is moving down this path very rapidly. If I didn’t enjoy Fortnite I wouldn’t even run Windows on any of my PCs, 2/3 of them are already Linux only and I love using Linux way more than Windows (I’ve used it off andnon for decades now).
