Microsoft denies rewriting Windows 11 in Rust using AI
#HackerNews #Microsoft #Rust #AI #Windows11 #Denial #HackerNews #TechNews
Someone close to me purchased a new computer just recently. His previous computer was Windows 10, which he liked. I warned him that Windows 11 was a different beast and he could expect a lot more spying, copilot in everything, less customization, and even ads in the start menu.
Apparently he agreed with me and he has started testing the Linux Mint Live Image today. He seems to like it. He said it was much easier to use than he expected and it is very fast.
It makes me smile that another person I know has found their way to Linux.

｢ Frank X. Shaw, Microsoft's head of communications, told Windows Latest that the company has no such plans. Hunt subsequently edited his LinkedIn post to clarify that "Windows is NOT being rewritten in Rust with AI" and that his team's work is a research project focused on building technology to enable language-to-language migration. He characterized the reaction as "speculative reading between the lines." ｣

The threat of new operating systems not supporting your current hardware is not new. I'm reprising my 2021 piece "The Impending Doom of Your Operating System Going to or Past 11, Versus the Lush Oasis of Open Source Systems" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/blog_wild_wild_world_of_windows.html (tracked https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2021/07/the-impending-doom-of-your-operating.html) for your holiday #windows11 #angst or simply #openbsd #freesoftware #libresoftware enjoyment.

Believe it or not, this is a room full of new #linux users!
Tonight, we gave away 10 perfectly good laptops that were headed for the dump because they can't #windows11
And instead, they got loaded up with #nixbook and we gave them away to members of this community, along with a live demo, class and some Q&A.
SUPER non technical people, that had zero issues navigating and using these laptops.
HUGE WIN!

Fini les écrans bleus dans les aéroports et commerces, Microsoft change les règles avec #Windows11
Concrètement, lorsqu’un système rencontre une erreur critique, l’écran ne restera plus bloqué pendant des heures. Le message d’erreur s'affiche durant quinze secondes, puis l’écran s’éteint en attendant une action humaine pour le réactiver. Objectif : éviter que le public ne soit témoin du crash.
