Fewer than 4.5% of Microsoft 365 customers pay for Copilot after three years, only 1% use it weekly, and Microsoft raised prices regardless.

    They just can’t launch a product can they? I mean if you look back:

    Vista: “oh shit! Oh shit! Quickly, course correct!!!” And then w7 made it a little better.

    W8: FUCK!! Again!!! Then there was the service packs and it was ok.

    And now this. When is it going to be the moment? You’d think they would’ve course corrected by now instead of doubling down so viciously.

              Have fun at the party.

              Damn, sick burn.

              Really good one.

              Funny, funny stuff.

              Still in use btw, so anything else?

              Anything else? Are you asking for more criticism on your comment?

              If you’re asking me to engage in a battle of wits, you’ve got me man. You’ve already demonstrated just how skilled you are.

              I yield, sir I yield. Please, don’t sarcastically repeat insults you heard somebody else use. I beg of you.

              2015 called and told me that you were the best they’ve seen.

              Deepest apologies if you just woke up from a brain damage induced coma.

                Nah I’m not that interested in this kind of jousting.

                Just to clarify: W10 is still used and supported, therefor I count it as part of the current ms ecosystem. That’s all I wanted to get at. But you really seem like wanting to be a dick about semantics.

                  Ah yes, im the one being a dick.

                  Have fun at the party.

                  I am curious though, what was your intent when you asked “so, anything else?”

      Even the word “service pack” is funny to someone like me who doesn’t use windows.

      They mean patch but it’s corpo speak… :)

        Before Windows 10 monthly patches were not cumulative. So, there were times when you would reinstall your OS and have to install hundreds of patches. It was a huge nightmare especially when some patches were dependent on others. For example, if you missed a servicing stack update, you would not get security patches. To help with this M$ would release “service packs” ever few years. These were a cumulative bundle of the security and stability patches, and sometime would have new features. For example, PowerShell was originally shipped as part of service packs. But basically they were a way to save you a few hours when doing reinstall.
