A few days ago, Davuluri shared his excitement about it on his official X handle. He seemed very eager to reveal what the company has in mind at the upcoming Ignite event regarding the agentic OS plans.

Unfortunately for Microsoft and Davuluri, the response has been overwhelmingly negative, so much so that the comments on that X post have now been disabled.

Made me laugh. :)

    1. Thanks, I’ll check Winboat and Winapps out! My existing info came from the WineHQ website, and InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop were all reported as various levels of broken. And yes, sadly the FLOSS alternatives don’t meet my needs, I did quite a bit of research on this a few months ago.
      Edit: From a quick search it seems that Winboat and Winapps have the same issue as other virtual machines, namely that you can’t really give them access to the GPU if you only have one. And graphics programs need that GPU access.
    2. I guess some of it is habit, kernel-level anti-cheat has been a thing as long as I’ve been gaming, so it feels “normal” :| But I’m looking forward to the day when my favourite games won’t use it!
    3. Not using it regularly, but when I do need it, I extremely strongly prefer GUIs to CLI. I’m just a visual person, so it feels important to be able to navigate in a visible interface and see “where I am” and what my actions are affecting. With CLI I find it quite stressful to e.g. have to memorise modifier letters, instead of just clicking a checkbox. I’ve seen screenshots of people doing everything (including PKM) in CLI and it honestly baffles me how they can feel comfortable with it.

    Just saying, it is constantly evolving and most of the road blocks are out-dated or hinge on reliance on some other big tech company besides microsoft that is just as far down the enshittification rabbit-hole. It is not a decision you made once and have to keep living with. None of us swore a life-debt to our “team”. :)

    Of course! Make no mistake, I feel no affection towards any corporation, their main goal is to bleed us dry for their shareholders. But giving up my fully featured software and favourite games to follow my FLOSS ideals does not seem to quite balance the scales for me yet.

    Though disclaimer: if I wasn’t doing piracy, but actually had to pay for Microsoft and Adobe’s rent-seeking, and be subject to all their bullshit restrictions, I would probably have jumped ship years ago. Enterprise group policies can remove a lot of user-hostile crap from Windows.
