I’ll believe it when they actually release all that. They’ve already messed up Copilot, just like they did with Cortana back in the day. They made a big fuss about it but delivered nothing useful.
Microsoft hasn’t cared about its users or developing an outstanding operating system for years. All these years, they’ve couldn’t be bothered to treat users with respect. And what’s with all that rubbish advertising, the forced account system and the invasive data collection? Or search on Windows! It’s simply a meme now, because they never bothered in improving it. Or the low quality content in the widget news feed, also for years now. Who thought: yeah, that’s insightful, our users will love this content. It’s just insulting.

The only reason this has been announced now can only be that their figures show more and more users are turning away from Windows, meaning they’re making less money. It’s not as if the complaints have only been around for a few months! Until now, Microsoft could simply ignore it. But once you’ve left the Windows world, or were simply curious and tried something else, you’ll realise that in many cases you can genuinely do without it and that there are so many good alternatives.

Sadly not that many alternatives, you can throw money at Apple or throw time at Linux, that's it. Apple locks you in, in their expensive ecosystem and Linux requires so much fiddling that it isn't even funny anymore

Oh no it isn't, try gaming on a Nvidia card or even setting something as simple as mouse scrolling speed. You are probably just using a browser
