    The fact that they backed down on it means it’s not a hard fact, but something they want you to believe. Or maybe they’re going back to the drawboard to optimize it better. Or realistically, it does take that much to run well, but they’d rather deal with the aftermath than say it out loud since it’s less people shouting.

    If they could make a better Windows, they would. But it’s possible it’s built on top of so much crap that they’d have to start from the beginning, and probably would just do like they did from the start, use someone else’s software to branch off of.

      Its what they wanted so they could run more garbage. Like how machines were said to not make the w11 cut, until adoption was poor and then they lowered the system bar.

      I’ve been think quite a lot lately about how a tech company announces that something is now The Truth, and all the media posts stories about The Truth, and that therefore becomes The Truth and that’s that. It’s always been that way, I know, but it feels like these past few years, with crypto, NFTs, and now AI, it’s become more blatant.

      Tech Bros say “AI is the future”, then force AI into everything, and that’s that. No one was asked, we were just given it, because they’ve spent a lot of money on it and need us to believe them.

      not really, anything after 7 shows that they can have good OS and fuck it on purpose the next one. Same thing happened with XP
