I read through these and it's 80% AI crap that no one asked for. New features? Recall and copilot trash. Bugs? Problems with Recall and copilot. I'm so glad I switched to Linux some months ago. If Microsoft doesn't see reason soon, they might just kill windows.
One might start thinking it's intentional indeed. I imagine Azure is their new cash cow, and perhaps MS is pivoting.
They're probably not pivoting but in FY2023 Azure made up 38% of their revenue, followed by Office 365 at 23%. That's a lot of cloud service revenue.
Is it sustainable? Honestly, it might. They sell a lot of stuff under the Azure umbrella and corporations lap that shit up. (Seriously; my employer is about ready to hire consultants to come up with additional eggs they can put in that particular basket.)
Here's my source; I couldn't be arsed to look it up in MSFT's statements directly.
