“We think we’re on the cusp of the next evolution, where AI happens not just in that chatbot and gets naturally integrated into the hundreds of millions of experiences that people use every day,” says Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft, in a briefing with The Verge. “The vision that we have is: let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI, and build essentially what becomes truly the AI PC.”

    I don’t hate Windows, but it seems like every day Microsoft gives me reasons to be thankful I’m a Mac user.

    Either go all in with Microsoft’s crap, pay for Microsoft 365, and enjoy the ride — or learn Linux. It’s easy, you can run it off a portable SSD. You don’t have to trash your Windows installation. You can do it virtually risk free. I recommend Ubuntu for new users, but Linux Mint is another good choice and it resembles Windows more, so it will be more familiar to you. Linux has never been better. It’s not just a free alternative to Windows; it is very much its own thing. Or, if you aren’t a gamer, and you need new hardware anyway… I’d grab a Mac mini. They’re $500 and they do everything you need. Gaming not so much (though we did just get Cyberpunk this year).
