Per the article they are rolling out bing’s ai search
Follow up to Microsoft saying all their keyboards will need/include an ai hotkey button to bring up the ai search
For fuck sake Microsoft.
At least I disabled the web search in the search bar long ago. I think I disabled it because of a bug that messed up search.
Can you imagine installing Windows and having to install 10 seperate programs just to fix all the issues with it?
Every day with Windows is like this. It’s a fucking nightmare. I don’t know what else to do.
Truly Truly, I say unto you, install Linux; it's what you really must do.

I've no idea what MS are even doing with all this shit.
I'm like 95% sure I had an AI icon in the search bar yesterday, and today it's a briefcase. 🤷
I have no idea why they're even remotely interested in Windows as a product anymore. Surely they can't expect that much revenue from integrated AI services when most of the general public's needs can be covered by web services that will severely outmatch Microsoft's development speed (y'know because of juggling legacy code and all).
Considering the fact that they gain most of their revenue by far from their Azure cloud services and enterprise customers, it just seems like a stupid business decision to invest this much into all kinds of random features for their desktop OS aimed at consumers.
In proper systems architectecture theory, we generally try to avoid mixing up functionality this much because a modular design allows your system to evolve without too much pain. Why build all this crap into Windows when you can just opt-in by installing an application for it?
I really don't get it...

I guess for some reason it decided to pack up
As someone who uses windows to produce music, bloat is a huge issue, latencymon Is a great tool to check for programs and drivers that can cause audio dropouts.
And win 11 has been great, didn't have to change much to get it to work. I tried several forms of Linux and it was too slow, driver issues, and plugins that were impossible to get working.
Win 10 was bad, but 7 was worse.
It really is a shame that music production is so painful in Linux. All I need to make the final switch

Driver issues aside, have you played with JACK on RTOS kernel?
JACK is very cool and if you're willing to tinker there's some really awesome stuff that can be done with LADISH session management and e.g. native Linux VSTs.
It's still a non-option for musicians who just want to do music, not tinkering.
I was mostly referring to the latency. RTOS kernel prioritizes timing over performance, so it should be right up your alley when it comes to music handling. I know it has been used in some instruments and mixers.
Jack is kind of iffy to tinker around I agree, however PipeWire, which is these days standard on up to date distributions should handle latency much much better without any great need for tinkering as it supports all the interfaces of Jack, PulseAudio and others. So you can just use whichever application you want and you get low latency backend regardless.
Things are improving at a rather fast pace in Linux world and even giving developers feedback is a useful contribution.
Thank you! I know all these things. This still doesn't help when the DAW support and VST compatibility aren't there.
If you're intent on doing music production on Linux, at least do yourself a favor and get a Reaper license, there are few enough pro DAWs that are Linux native. But be aware that many of the big industry VSTs are still not going to work. If you're fine sticking to e.g. ZynAddSubFX or Pianoteq, though, knock yourself out.
But you can't reasonably expect musicians to jump those hoops and abandon their fav VSTs when their Windows tooling is there, and works.
Am not expecting anything. Am just wondering how people in the industry are fairing with recent changes.
