    It was foolish of them to think they had any consumer clout left. Shoving 1000 copies of an inaccurate, poorly functioning, and inconsistent product down everyone's throat will someday be a case study in how to immediately destroy a brand.

      Crazy how if they had waited about 2-3 years, and kept windows AI-free and released it today using the latest models, it would absolutely be well received (see: muse, new siri)

      Instead their incompetent managers were chasing promotions and pushed a technology which was not ready yet

        But that would make John Shareholder sad! He wants it done now, this quarter!
