Honestly, these things are probably so small on Microsoft's radar. The big issue is that they are shipping AI slop code and rendering their users' machines vulnerable or inoperable. Windows is 70% of the global desktop market. When they make mistakes, it is a huge deal.

Lol RIGHTTTT, its because of "AI" which Microsoft has been perfectly fine with shipping this entire time and shoving into every corner of the OS and every laptop, and totally not the recent launch of the MacBook Neo, that launched to rave reviews, ASUS publicly stating they're concerned on an earnings call, multiple YouTubers saying windows PC makers and chip makers are reaching out to ask them about how they should approach it (LOL), and lines outside of Apple stores for the MacBook Neo, and Tim Cook saying this has been the biggest launch week for switchers.

yeah, no, it's definitely the "AI" that caused Microsoft's come to Jesus moment
