@malwaretech Are we sure it's a real person though ?

@malwaretech
It reads like wishes.
"I wish you warm, calm and healthy Chrismas and a happy and responsible New Year!"

@malwaretech Ah, so now evolving and transforming is good? I still remember this anti-Linux ad where Microsoft claimed open operating systems were at a disadvantage because they could "mutate" randomly.

@malwaretech Even the hashtag for “MSI g’nite” doesn’t make sense.

@malwaretech
We left the Bay Area not shortly after I saw a billboard on the 101 right around San Bruno:

"DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE 25 TO MAKE YOUR FIRST MILLION"

[This was long long ago, when IPOs were priced the size of what would be an angel round or low Series A today]

I'm sure there was a time when Silicon Valley was driven by idealism, but the culture has been toxic for as long as I can remember

@malwaretech lol and you call yourself a tech person

@malwaretech that would make it the most accurate thing ever produced by an LLM. Much Vector, very similarity.

@malwaretech That last sentence just tastes like "we have such sights to show you."

Thanks, but if I were into that, I'd already have gotten into suspension.

@malwaretech I had to read that twice. The first time through my brain read "Windows is evolving into an _antagonistic_ OS ..." and it made sense until I go to the second sentence.

@malwaretech I’ve got Linux Zerg rush on my bingo cards for the next 5 years, that’s fs

@malwaretech the coke must be strong in this one...

@malwaretech Windows the country or Windows the legislature?

@malwaretech it reads like it was sent from a corporate-controlled social selling platform, which reminds me I need to schedule some sociabble posts.

@malwaretech I'd like to thank Microsoft for helping make 2026 the year of the Linux Desktop.

@malwaretech

I for one appreciate that the message reads like a bright neon warning sign BEWARE OF US AUTHORITARIAN CRIMINALS.

@malwaretech What's next: the year of Linux on the desktop

@malwaretech In other news, Sans Bullshit Sans needs an update.

@malwaretech - only a matter of time before they make make the OS online-only and charge a yearly subscription.
You'll be left with, essentially, a dumb keyboard connecting to a mainframe somewhere. The exact opposite of the intention of a 'personal computer'. Windows 365, anyone?

@malwaretech I'll give em an agentic os. Right in the kisser

@malwaretech looks like one of those goofy LinkedIn “I’m happy to announce” posts that people make for some random mundane thing.

@malwaretech Tell us you're out of touch with your customers without telling us you're out of touch with your customers

Ai
More Ai
???
Profit.

@malwaretech I'd rather put SteamOS on my laptop than bother with that hot garbage. MS leadership is retarded and completely out of touch with their customers

@malwaretech I can't wait to not upgrade!!

@malwaretech
Touch base, circle back & synergize!
PRODUCTIVITY!!!

@malwaretech Dude is on amphetamines.

@malwaretech Meh. No blockchain, no quantum computing... Not interested.

@malwaretech

@malwaretech “secure” 😂

@malwaretech MS are so drunk on AI they’ve reached 3.16am at the bar and they don’t realise they’re talking to somebody from Skegness who is so also drunk he doesn’t remember where he lives

@malwaretech I always feel the same with AI. They speak so proud about the possibilities and use big words and eloquent phrases... Not practical, real-life features 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

For me, it's just like a vendor at your door trying to sell you something you don't need.

@malwaretech I swear the people most impressed and invested in LLMs are those who _are_ an LLM running on meat - no reflection, no understanding, no internal world - just a fancy Markov chain meandering through Dare To Lead, 7 Habits, and the last blogpost they read.

@malwaretech It's been such a long time since I had to care about Windows and Microsoft.

Perhaps someone should tell them about how products should solve actual customer problems and pains, not invent new ones.

They have PMF (Product Market Fit) all wrong.

@malwaretech There's a President of Windows? I wonder how many levels of presidential hierarchy they have there. President of Notepad?

@malwaretech

Yet another reason to move to Linux or some other OS, without all the AI bollocks 😟🤦‍♂️

@malwaretech Windows is blah blah blaaaah, AI, blah blah blah blah blaaaaah.

So tired of this shit.

@malwaretech It's been so many years now and I still get irritable when I see the word "cloud" used that way. Not "the cloud," just "cloud."

We are cloud. This is cloud. All in on cloud. It's like a type of noun use that is usually reserved for deities. Praise cloud.

@malwaretech it probably waa written by an #LLM... Aren't #Microsoft all in on the kool aid?

@malwaretech I want to pay for a billboard in the south bay that says "their future is in your hands" and just has a picture of a corporate stock photo blond girl reaching out her cupped hands to a tiny dragon. No other explanation. No actual service, no point. Billboards are surprisingly expensive though.

@malwaretech look at him, saying it as if it was a good thing 🤣
