#43I remember the time when Microsoft was rebranding everything as “.NET”. Lasted for a couple of years and then they moved on to a different hype.
As far as I can recall, this has been their branding strategy: 1996: Rename everything to "MSN" including a news TV channel 2000: Rename everything ".NET" even if it's not a programming language 2005: Rename everything that remotely touches the internet to "Live" 2013: Rename everything to "365" 2025: Rename everything to "Copilot" even things that are not just an LLM Also sprinkle "Windows" liberally over everything…
Skype and Lync, surface, windows subsystem for linux, AD to Entra, 10S, "whatever for enterprise", whatever for teams, one, one s, one x, windows phone, windows mobile, windows mobile 8, service pack became anniversary update became creators update. Let's not even get started on things like Visual C++ redistributable runtime framework package for desktop bridge (not making that up).

You're not forced to open the app and purchase a $120/yr subscription just because they changed the name.
I’m not paying a cent but I see AI buttons and ads for it all over my OS and software interfaces. Let’s just say this renaming makes me think that’s not about to improve anytime soon.
I do not agree that seeing a button I don't like is equivalent to forcing AI slop down our throats.

Hundreds of millions of people are required by their employer to use Windows
Milions of soldiers are required by their employer to shoot and kill people. That their employer said so doesn't make it moral or ok. Using Windows is always wrong. Using Chrome is always wrong.
I visit hacker news for insightful discussions and this ain’t it chief. The world is much larger than your bubble and sticking your fingers in your ears doesn’t change that.

#48At some point the FTC and DOJ really need to split up these huge companies to stop this bundling of separate products to block out any competition.
easy solution - just don’t use windows
I've come to appreciate two things in salty ass tech culture:
* Don't say "hello" alone in DMs * When you say "Just", whatever follows can be summarily replaced with "Go Fuck Yourself".
Summarized pretty well by [0], honestly.

#49I am the only who wonders if Microsoft marketing people also rename their children once they reach a couple of years old?

How are these claims any different than saying: Buying groceries in any supermarket chain is always wrong; buying an automobile from any of the large car makers is always wrong?
These aren't serious claims. They're criticising the argument being used.
They are things I do stand for though
