This is an unacceptable level of clickbait journalism. Nothing in the article's title is substantiated in the article's content, it doesn't break any of those three things, and the failures it does report are trivial (a dialog displays incorrectly, and a few devices have scattered reports of instability).
Microsoft has made a lot of mistakes in recent years, but this article isn't about them. We shouldn't invite in this level of clickbait even if it is popular to criticize Microsoft, because all it does is add noise to an otherwise very necessary discussion of MS's practices.
So regular everyday bugs we live with daily in the Linux desktop world.
I love how primary sources for "journalism" these days are comments by random jamokes on Reddit.
Yeah, you shouldn't trust people-on-the-internet in principle. But that's not the issue as much as uh... enshittification is a mild word for what they're doing. It might amount to some form of fraud
I wonder how long will it take for M/S to fix this issue ? At a minimum maybe 2 weeks ? I think M/S needs to stop worrying about AI and focus on their core business until these things stop happening.
Remember that even they switch to Mac or Linux, many workers will still be forced to use Office, Exchange, and/or Azure.
Also, most companies wouldn't completely abandon something that makes for 10% of their revenue. Even if every other product they have didn't completely depend on it.
But that sales funnel needs to not exceed a certain maximum level of annoyance to the people traveling down it, or they'll look askance at other options.
I mean, not even all the Copilot silliness has been able to lead to The Year of the Linux Desktop, but Windows 11 as a whole I suspect has been good for Mac and iPad sales. And those are people that now aren't getting nagged by their operating systems to use OneNote, OneDrive, Word, Copilot etc at every turn.
