They should have just made it an app, with the options in the app to integrate it into other apps like Office.

I use the Claude app, use AI in VSCode etc… but I like to specifically pick what I install and how I like to use it.

Obviously they would be sued either way as including your own AI is like including Internet Explorer as default as the anti competitive nature of that.

You can tell they wanted the entire OS to be AI driven, but nobody wants to spend their evenings barking orders at a computer.

We like mice and keyboards, they work.

Problem is they can’t monetise that.

Actually funny story they did monetize mouse and keyboard OS it was called buying the OS lol. Just being obtuse, but damn. It's like every aspect of everything has to milk us for as much money as possible now.

That’s fine with me, as long as our salaries grow to keep up with it (fucking LOL)

No see they want our salary to decrease by 20% every year.

How do you make that work in the real world? They don't care, they only care about increasing their profits
