While I'm not mad at all that they've killed Cortana as a service, I am a little ticked that they used the name for their C- Siri and are now calling their AI service Bing AI instead of using the Cortana name for that

Wait someone used cortana?

That was my thought too. I use none of those type of programs. I know how to work a computer or some other device. I don't need to command it like a dog.

I would love to see/feel Windows is reaching the point where it's a small program with tons of optional programs, but god damn, I'm so sick of these bloated fucking OSes.

Android now takes 20+ gigs, Windows takes massive amounts of hard drive. And I know someone will say there's a way to configure it, but the amount of bloat that people just accept on programs is insane.

It's silly when Call of duty Warzone requires 150 GB, it's a bigger problem when windows continues to consume more and more memory with out a good reason other than pushing new products and services most customers don't want/use.

They’ve realized nothing. Have you opened Edge lately? A gazillion new privacy-invading features that could be relegated to web plugins. Bloat bloat bloat.

I'd pay extra for a windows that has nothing except the settings, task manager and the file explorer.
