I’ve often wondered what new and innovative ways Microsoft could find to make my computer even less likely to do what I want.

But AI, bro
Bro, remember when VR was all the rage? EVERYTHING was pushing VR, so much so ~~Facebook~~ Meta went all in on it.
Now it's a fucking novelty at best.
I think VR and all these AI assistants are similarly in that they’re in their infancy stages and there’s gonna be a ton of growing pains before they’re useful enough to be common, but someday they will have their place
That’s my thoughts on the matter at least
VR has been explored though, from Google Cardboard to the PSV2 to animating/painting... All of them failing to gain traction or be widely adopted.
It either needs to jump through a lot more hurdles to be more accessible and useful, or it's just gonna be another cool experiment in time like Etch-A-Sketch

That's only because the cost for a good experience is still out of the realm for most people to justify to even try. Until we are looking at $150 or so for a good experience that doesn't give people headaches or motion sickness issues it will never take off.
The cheap VR systems still give plenty of people issues, and the expensive ones are out of the reach of a normal person living their life day to day.
And for businesses, VR simply has not proven to have a cost benefit worth even the initial capital investment, without even taking into account ongoing IT costs due to damaged equipment.
This type of information, encourages me to move quickly to a linux distro of choice.

Fedora, Steam, Bottles.
Fedora/KDE for the quality support and stability of your Linux distro, Steam for, well, Steam, and Bottles for non-Steam games, that still lets you launch those games from inside Steam.
I love this idea. The reason people continue using Windows is because they're used to it. Messing with the Start button is going to piss off even the most patient users. Not to mention it'll be an absolute nightmare for any IT department. Just imagine an army of Karens calling your hotline first thing on Monday morning, yelling at you because you took away the Start button. It'll make Windows 8 look like a huge success.
So now I can use an AI to find notepad++ on bing?
Ahh yes the beginning to Window's end.
