I dunno. Windows 11 sales have been crap. People aren't buying new machines due to it. Relaunch 12 as privacy focussed, AI enabled (but optional), and they could see a bounce. Double down on Office, keep a steady improvement on Azure, and see Xbox as a growth opportunity. Microsoft could avoid the AI slump Notice how Apple have not jumped all in. They are anticipating the storm and are well prepared to weather it out

    Apple did jump in but then backed out once it was clear their offering wasn't even close to the competition. Remember their big push on Apple Intelligence and how most of the features they promised never materialised? While the back-peddalling was embarrassing at the time, I agree that their cautious approach since will probably work out better than Microsoft going forward.

    Windows & Xbox are like 16% of M$'s revenue, they're not that important to the company.

    >Windows 11 sales have been crap. People aren't buying new machines due to it. Wait until new computers quadruple in price because of data center demands, driven by idiotic AI initiatives nobody wants, and nobody buys new computers.

    The reality is, and I say this with a heavy heart, that Crapple is ahead of everyone else in how to keep the money and stock prices moving in their favor. They 'rent' AI capabilities from OpenAI and Google and put their money where they always have, making new devices, some good developing and fucking over everyone in their walled garden. Microslop, on the other hand, has completely lost its north. Full disclosure, I fucking hate Crapple almost as much as I hate Microslop, but they evidently know what they're doing. How long they can keep their shit up is another conversation for another time.

    They are running their own schemes as of right now.
