I've no idea whether MS either has a veeeeery clever plan about what they are doing, and I just don't get it, or whether that's just completely stupid in the current times when Windows' fanbase is somewhat declining anyways.
On the other hand, people always have a hard time understanding the trouble they order when they let things centralize too much. When they are too okay with depending on e.g. BigTech companies too much.
And in that regard, those news are probably actually good news... It helps people learning about how things work... So they can make better decisions in the future. Better for all of us.

Satya Nadella had built up so much Microsoft goodwill from 2014 - 2022. When they first purchased Github, it looked like Microsoft was opening up and was going good things.
The first sign things were souring was when Microsoft dumped their gaming plans after just buying up all he major studios. First sign they only cared about Azure and AI.
Now it's blatantly obvious they're giving up everything to chase enterprise AI.
I spent 20 minutes trying to log in to Teams on my phone today and I just couldn’t. After my username and password, it would redirect to Microsoft Authenticator, then ask me to create a passkey for some reason, show a loader, and then bug out and restart the flow in an infinite loop.
I’m being told we are in the incredible age of fully automated AI programming and yet Microsoft can’t even get login to work.
