My opinion:
The idea of designing the user interface entirely around AI-interpreted speech recognition and taking control of users' data and their systems away from them is dystopian. It means taking away users' property, and that sholuld be seen as illegal.
Let's hope that Microsoft can revert to a user-centered approach before this comic becomes reality!

This is a comic from scriptkiddie@anonsys.net showing a panic reaction of the Microsoft management, because users are switching to Linux because of AI problems.

A key reason you can’t think of government the way you do business is because society should never be a zero-sum game whereas business is a fight for resources with winners and losers. To win in business, someone has to lose. That is should never be how governments operate, even though they often do.

A successful business strategy requires winning. A successful society requires equity.

Heroic Effort vs. Deterministic Execution Systems

The Physics of Organizational Reliability In the early stages of organizational life, typically below the $2 million revenue threshold, growth is fueled by high-bandwidth intuition and individual heroism. The founder acts as the central router, and a small cadre of "high performers" bridge the gap

🕶️ A view of its UI, with a top-left banner featuring the main menus, a wider banner on the right with the minimap at the top, the "Next Turn" button at the bottom, and on the main section the map in aerial view with a fog of war (at the start of the game it was almost entirely black). A character can be seen in wooded countryside with deer.

📚️ Master of Magic - IME is a libre and multi-platform, standalone (does not require the original data), solo (vs AI) / multiplayer (client/server) Java implementation, of Master of Magic (1994, by the Simtex studio), a game mixing 4X turn-based strategy and RPG, on a fantasy theme, in which the player plays a wizard in a war against other wizards. To win, he must destroy his competitors or banish them with a powerful spell that is difficult to implement (the Spell of Mastery). He is compared to Civilization in a fantasy atmosphere, with a more complex combat system and a universe with two planes of existence (Arcanus and Myrror). — 🕶️ A view of its UI, with a top-left banner featuring the main menus, a wider banner on the right with the minimap at the top, the "Next Turn" button at the bottom, and on the main section the map in aerial view with a fog of war (at the start of the game it was almost entirely black).

Aggressive marketing is dead. In 2026, 'Silent Growth' wins: shift from buying attention to earning trust. Invest in product quality over ads, practice radical transparency, build a co-creating community. In a world of digital noise, authenticity & reliability are the ultimate currencies.
