This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
no one wants to sit in their office talking to their computer verbally, its fucking awkward. Its cool on star trek as a means of exposition and plot, but not in real life.
Start fixing the actual architecture issue of Windows. An immutable base system and modular containerised app workflow might be a start, but we already have that in every other operating system
All those offices with open floorplans are just going to be a auditory nightmare, like some call center every single day.
So: an even more disempowering user experience.
Sounds like shit to me.
Opensuse still over here .... Just being a computer.
Gave my mom a machine with Mint, havent heard a peep out of her.
Question. Can't you get around all this shit just getting win pro?
I still hate to give any $ to microshit, but if anyone wants to use popular software or play new games they need windows.
Fundamentally, the concept that your computer can actually look at your screen and is context aware is going to become an important modality for us going forward.”
Since I don't feel the need for ambience nor multi-modal experiences in my OS, considering the implementation of that "modality" I'm afraid that even as a long-time Windows user I'm going to have to switch to another OS that closer aligns to my needs.
More gluant, juxtaposing and hereditary.
I too can just string adjectives together.
What is gluant? I couldn't find it in the dictionary.
Sticky
Seems logical. Glue, gluant, sticky.
I hadn't expected a dictionary search to come up empty, though.
More ephemeral, voluptuous and hydrogenous!
I'd rather it were more pulchritudinous, steatopygous and lubricious, but maybe that's just me.
If you want steatapygian software, Emacs is right there.
Oh, I love hydrangeas!
Yeah, that sounds exactly like what everybody were looking for in an OS. /s
I've been very happy to be using Linux for the past decade and a half, but never more so than now.
Microsoft: the biggest promoter for using Linux. "Our goal is to make Windows and it's apps so extremily repulsive even your grandma wants Linux instead. Because we care."
I love Windows 11 (the non-copilot+ version) and am positive on AI, but if they pull through with this vision, I WILL switch to Linux once Win11 support ends.
bill look what they did to your baby
Maybe someone should inform mr. lead over there that ambient and pervasive do not go together all that great. But then again, windows 11 ‘s components do not seem to play along too well, so they might not be sure what congruence actually is about.
Thanks, I hate it!
Just got done switching to Bazzite and couldn't be more satisfied. Super similar to Steam Deck. Almost everything on the gaming rig worked right away.
Yup. Off to Linux I go.
The only word I understand in that sentence, in this context, is "pervasive." And given how Windows has really heen driving users away from Windows recently, I am doubtful that it will be more pervasive than previous Windows.
None of these are things I want in an OS.
Yup, I want "unobtrusive, lightweight, compatible, and secure." Basically, the best case for an OS is that I don't notice it.
Depending on what the hell "ambient" means in this context that one might be okay. The other two though, eww.
It's funny cause "ambient, pervasive, multi-modal" are all words used when envisioning the future applications of AI, so you know some marketing smuck glanced over the literature (or probably asked an AI to do so for him) and chose them with little care as to how the new Windows will embody these qualities. I am so tired of salesmen,marketing,word salads and entrepreneurship.
The next version of Debian won't be more ambient and pervasive. It would be just the same as it is today.
Microsoft really doing everything in their power to make sure I never buy another Windows PC.
I setup a Windows 11 laptop for a friend yesterday, I cannot believe the amount of ads built into the new user experience which are disguised as installation options.
I had to find the tiny, low contrast skip button to avoid signing up for more cloud storage, a Copilot subscription, and an Office365 subscription before I was even able to see the desktop.
The entire left side of the start bar seens to be a news feed which shows ads, opening an Office app requires closing a Copilot ad unless you disable it (individually for every application), it's impossible to create a local user account, it looks like the user folder defaults to their cloud storage so just saving things into your document folder will eventually result in scary "You're almost out of space, buy more here!" ads disguised as system promots, and your bitlocker recovery key is saved in your Microsoft account.
That's just what I noticed in the first 20 minutes.
I'm so glad I ejected from that dumpster fire of an OS.
Microsoft does the best viral marketing for Linux.
