I do not want AI on my computer unless I install it myself willingly. It's not up to any of those tech companies to decide whether I want that or not. I'm not buying any phone, tablet, or computer software that FORCES AI on me. I will go to alternatives even if it hurts. I spend too much time on my PC anyways. It would be good to get away from it all anyways.
And also please don't blame Microsoft for being late, please blame them for not going hard enough. They focused on slapping big cameras on a phone that had TERRIBLE software. They flopped because their software on mobile devices was garbage. If they had something like MIUI/IOS on their phones, they would have been an insane threat in the game. Their phones left a lot to be desired. They do that a lot with their stuff. Xbox is the same thing, the Xbox UI is garbage, they don't get as many sales on Xbox and people are going PC gaming more and more because Xbox UI is terrible, they killed off the Xbox Companion App on PC and replaced it with Xbox App which doesn't have 1/4 of the features the Companion App had. Oh and let's not forget that Microsoft also does stupid things to ALIENATE their customers. You're telling me I'm paying 60 dollars per year and you're gonna ban me if I swear? EXCUSE TF OUT OF ME? Yeah..... So please do not attribute the companies major L's as a timing thing. They just didn't go hard enough. Windows, same thing. We still have Windows 3.1 stuff in Windows 11.... Why???? If Microsoft WANTED to give you a good experience, they would, but they don't. They failed because of them and not because of timing.
