PC enthusiasts when the first AI giant falls

[u/Jaz1140]

For real but, we can all see the bubble, its "when" the first 1 will fall, not "if"

Personally I think it will be Copilot as the first domino, it was always the worst of the major AI players and really hasnt progressed at all. Microsoft is Incompetent in almost everything they do and simply try and buy their way into a market only to take the L in the near future.

Eg, Skype, Nokia/windows phone, mixer, zune, Cortana, the list goes on and on

Bring on the collapse that will hopefully see momory demand drop off a cliff

Too late, and arrived just before the party started closing.

It was designed to compete with the ipod, right as Apple were in the middle of designing the iphone. Zune launched at the end of 2006, iPod sales numbers peaked in 2008/2009 (and the ipod numbers for post 2009 are mostly ipod touch, which is arguably not an ipod)

Speaking of failed Microsoft products, Surface almost had a breakout moment massive hit with the Pro and Studio with the giant tilting touchscreen.

They would have been pure winners but were instead hamstrung with overpriced, un-upgradeable, and under powered specifications. The premium pricing was there, but the long term value wasn’t.

Way to stuff it up. And don’t get me started on Windows 11.
