    If Microsoft wasn’t run by tools, they’d see the gap Google and Apple have left behind by locking down their eco systems.

    They could be the hero we need by saying we’ll make the software and you fully own your device like pc / windows.

    But of course they won’t, and will just shoot themselves in the dick.

    Just like when they ditched explorer we were all like yaay! Then instead of attaching to Firefox they just became another chromium cuck.

    Why would anyone take your shitty browser that’s just a skin of chrome…

    Again, they had the chance to take the pro customer lane and succeed, but they were too inept.

      To me, these reeks of “We have learned AI is bad press for users so ot failed, but it was good press for investors at the time. How do we appease both?”
