#42OpenClaw just seems so broken and insecure by-design. I feel like you'd have to be crazy to use it.

They'll probably start selling _Microsoft Copilot AI Defender_ or something similar?

They're working on it.

#44I'm sorry, did OpenClaw improve by orders of magnitude in the last couple of months? Maybe so because it was an absolute dumpster fire when I looked at it, you could taste the "vibe" it was so poorly put together, I can't imagine anyone respectable building on top of it, better to just steal the compelling ideas (agent with a cron wrapper)
It is the least reliable piece of software I have ever used. While I was still using it I got into states that were completely broken and the easiest way to get out was to wait for the next version and hope that did something.

#45Microsoft is still going to win because they are the no risk option for many businesses but wow I might actually be embarrassed to be part of these efforts. I hate to use such hyperbolic language too but they have continued year over year for the past 3 years failed to deliver in AI. From the useless frameworks they have been building on the Azure side, the partnership with Anthropic where they are still building cop…
How's your IBM mainframe doing, these days? Wait, you use Watson, right? IBM still exists. They're the perfect example of how far a corporate behemoth can keep rolling after it effectively dies. Microsoft is effectively dead. It's easier and less hassle to use Linux desktop environments than to wrestle with Windows bullshit. Their flagship product is a sad joke, their leadership is flailing for purpose, and their ent…
It's dead for you and me since we won't willfully use any of the slop products they put out, but as long as they produce the default OS for most of the PCs that the average Joe buys, they aren't going anywhere. I'm not entirely sure how this works, but I don't think there are many Linux distros/organizations that will pay for manufacturers to install Linux on the PCs.
The there is also the cloud like other comments already mentioned.

#46Mark Zuckerberg has thrown how much into AI and Microsoft is passing them by as if they don't even exist. You know that meme about how IE is the browser eating paste, while Firefox and Chrome fight it out... Meta AI is the "kid" eating paste, while Google, Anthropic, OpenAI and Microsoft duke it out.

Don’t fall for the hype cycle. Just wait till the blogosphere confirms that it’s useful stuff. I doubt you’ll feel so strongly in a month or two.
I already use Microsoft Phi offline, I would be more surprised if they made a model commercially that is worse than their open weight model.

Then it's a perfect match for Microsoft.

#48>Microsoft Scout connects to apps such as Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, and SharePoint, and accesses data from chat, email, calendar, and contacts. There's a running joke that you don't pay some mariachis for singing, you tip them to get them to go away. In a similar vein, Maybe Microsoft can figure out how to monetize not having to use Windows as a service. "You don't have to use teams and outlook any longer" is certain…
Adding full interoperability with Matrix clients as a paid add-on to Teams would be this

> IBM still exists. They're the perfect example of how far a corporate behemoth can keep rolling after it effectively dies. wish i ran a dead company that did 67 billion in revenue last year, with year-over-year increases. > Microsoft is effectively dead. damn, and this dead company did 280 billion in revenue last year. (you have a ~unique~ definition of dead.)
But can really say any of their products are top of their respective niches? Windows, Xbox, Azure are not the gold standard. They had the lead or close to it in these niches but floundered that.
I never understand these takes like they did this much in revenue. OP acknowledges that, they have enterprise down and are too big to fail. What’s to say they couldn’t be doing more revenue? Or even better year over year if they played their cards right. Don’t get me started on GitHub and VSCode. Popular projects are leaving GitHub and VSCode wasn’t able to monetize itself where many forks were able to do so.
