In a long post titled “Our commitment to Windows quality,” published on Microsoft’s website and sent via email to millions of members of the Windows Insider Program, Windows boss Pavan Davuluri laid out a laundry list of changes Microsoft plans to make in Windows 11, starting this month.
What’s most remarkable about this post is what it doesn’t contain. Here’s how Davuluri kicked things off:
Every day, we hear from the community about how you experience Windows. And over the past several months, the team and I have spent a great deal of time analyzing your feedback. What came through was the voice of people who care deeply about Windows and want it to be better.
That paragraph belongs in the non-apology Hall of Fame, with a cross-reference to “Friday news dump” – a classic PR technique that aims to minimize media coverage of the awkward news being released.

Hey, hang on.
They just raised my annual subscription charge due to costs of AI. Now they’re undoing their work.
I bet the price of my subscription doesn’t go down due to their incompetance.
#Microsoft #Microsoft365 #AI
If you start the ‘cancel’ subscription process it’ll offer a non-ai option back at the original price.
Or at least it used to closer to when they pulled that stunt.
yeah there’s a classic subscription model that doesn’t have slopcrap in it that’s at the original rates before they forced people to pay for to get their AI trash that no one wanted.
cancel, then take the lower sub and dump ai. or just dump microslop entirety
