This is Cortana all over again. And I don't remember people using Cortana at all...
- Cortana was a squandered opportunity for sure.
- Didn’t use cortana directly, but the “auto block out focus time” in my work diary was a freaking game changer and I am pissed they took it away.
  
  I'm not sure if it's exactly the same, but there is a similar tool under 'viva insights' in teams
- I disabled it.
- While I didn't use it regularly, I did use it here and there in both W10 and W10M. The jokes were pretty good too. But I'm an old-time halo player that is geeky as fuck so I'm laser-aligned with that demographic.
This will be the (fifth?) time Microsoft has tried to implement virtual assistants. And they are still exceedingly inefficient at it.
- I know of Clippy, Cortana, Co-Pilot and Mico so 4 that I know of and all are very useless
  
  Dont forget Microsoft Bob
  
  And the search Dog and Wizard. I suppose those don't count much, but they are worth remembering.
- Give us Clippy you cowards!!!
Sorry Mico, you gotta go
- Basically that.
I thought capitalism was about supply and demand. We demand something and corporations supply it. Who demanded this crap?
- I’m convinced we are post capitalism now.
- other capitalists
- Capitalism is about juggling numbers, empty promises, exploitation, pump & dump and „HODL🚀🚀🚀“
Bro, one more rebrand bro, then it'll work bro. This time it'll work bro
Oh man, they even have it wearing glasses and looking a lot like Microsoft Bob!
Why doesn't anyone do history anymore? There really is so much to be learned.
f mico
Ah, now computers can be infected with fungi along with worms and viruses.
How do we murder it quickly
- Quick, draw r34 and shitty memes!
  
  I'm doing my part!
they really just called it michael
- Michaelsoft Wimdose AyyAyeeee
This lil piss guy gave me an idea.
We're gunna put AI and connectivity in Elf On A Shelf. The kids will be able to give their Christmas lists and confess their sins to the AI controlled Elf, which will have it's own Amazon wishlist.
The Elf will weigh the sins of the child, and deeming them worthy, will automatically order the appropriate gifts off the list, which will be delivered via drone down the chimney Christmas Eve, once the Elf determines the child has gone to sleep.
There is only room for one Micro in my heart and that is Micro Micrófono from 31 Minutos. Microsoft should be ashamed 😜 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dX9zd5pQJms
