Pro tip: when your customers don’t like your product, it’s not their fault. It’s yours, and the appropriate response is not complaining or incredulity that people don’t like it. The appropriate response is to change the product or scrap it completely.

"The customer is always right" might get misused a lot, but it is correct in this instance.
If a lot of your customers don't like something, it's not something wrong with the customers.

Too long in monopoly, this logic escapes them.

He might be the dumbest ceo out there, and that is an impressive feat.
Nope. Ballmer is and always will be the all time king R. He's the dude that had MS pilot away from handheld devices because nobody will ever use cell phones. This was when MS was the only credible mobile OS. He oversaw Vista, he oversaw 8, both of which were complete disasters.
Bring back Balmer!
If he'd just try a little harder, maybe we can be rid of M$ entirely.

why not just admit you overspent on datacenters, which you cant afford and trying to recoup some of the losses from your other products.
people are unimpressed with the ability to talk fluently with an AI computer.
I already communicate fluently with my computer. I double click an icon to communicate to my computer "open this". I type into a search field to communicate "find this string".
At no point do I want to communicate to my computer "log everything I do, then use those logs to give me something that isn't what I'm asking for."

Wish I could upvote this twice.

Won't stop them from trying to shove it down our throats.

FUCKING CLAP YOU IDIOTS
I don’t want to talk fluently with a computer, I want it to do things deterministically in a way I as a human being cannot. If I want a discussion, I have it with a human being.

Never seen someone with a mind so easily blown.
Either it's bullshit (most likely) or it's because he surrounded himself with AI-cock sucking yes men. Probably a bit of both.

If you think you need to blame the people for not being impressed by your product, the problem isn't with the people.
You know what would impress me? That I would be able to start using my computer when I boot it in the morning.
As it stands I have to wait some 5 to 10 minutes before the mouse pointer decides to cooperate with me. And god forbid I attempt to start a Teams meeting, either the camera, mic or screen share will not work at all.
What the hell is this dumbass operating system doing that is more important than responding to the damn user?
Same machine, booting Linux, lets me start working right away. No stuttering, no freezes. Go figure.
