The hilarious thing about Vista to me is that I remember hating it at the time, but now I’ve seen versions of Windows so much worse that I can’t even muster mild dislike for it lmao
vice versa for me and 10. “oh ok, it unfucked everything 8 did wrong. Sure the settings UI is a little changed, but I’m going to move countries in a few weeks, I can’t change operating systems to 7 or linux now”
fucking SIX years it took me to get off that awful OS
Just AI generating an image of what the desktop should look like.
Mouse, keyboard, and other inputs are treated like prompts (e.g. move pointer to 43, 135).
All that gets stored on your disk is these prompts in a giant file and it executes it all on each startup to get to the final state you were on last time (it’s never quite right, sometimes completely wrong)
All of that is processed “on the cloud” and you get an eye watering bill at the end of each month (MS is still running on a loss though), but hey at least the PC didn’t cost more than $100 because it’s an SD card, a wireless adapter, and a bunch of cables in a trench coat.
edit : I have never worked for microsoft. I have worked with .net

what’s the next step with windows 12? destroy the ashes?
We’ll never know: humans won’t be allowed to touch Windows 12, you can only ask the AI to operate the mouse and keyboard for you.
The AI ethics people are gonne get Microsoft then, for making AI agents interact with their horrible OS.
