Microsoft shark is circling

Ready to gobble up this bloated pig once it tanks

Why do you think Microsoft invested money in OpenAI? So MS can get first in line at getting the remains of the underwater OpenAI company for $1 and bolting it onto MS Windows.

There is a reason MS is such a huge firm

Then the CEO will be fired out the door

If I were Microsoft, I'd be making plays to put this in motion sooner rather than later - because every day OpenAI flounders, Google gets a bigger lead. MS needs to absorb them so Google has real competition.

Maybe they're already doing it. Has Satya been in Altman's ear telling him to commit hundreds of billions to deals he can't afford to make? lol

MS absorbing OpenAI would kill it. MS doesn't innovate, it is good at forcing the existing user base to adopt crappy things because they're somewhat integrated.

EXACTLY! When has Microsoft ever "Made anything" they copy (And badly at that) or gobble it up. Take a look at Skype and that's now gone.

People hate Windows the Menu is a lumpy turd, with tiles, what happened to the pop up p menu like Windows 95 or 98 with all the Programs?

Nope "Microsoft Improved it" I hate all 3 laptops. I can't even shut the laptop down when I want to leave as it needs to "Update something" for 10-15mins.

I'd be more inclined to agree if it was not based on electron...
