Support NeoGAF

And we've been seeing that side effect from them in gaming for over a decade now.

Even their OS is a suffering and bugged out broken mess.

It's the new lie that "middle managers" ruin companies. It's so surprising when narratives like that get started and then pushed out.

Admittedly, I only run Windows in a VM, and begrudgingly so when it is absolutely necessary for some legacy application. But I find it absolutely insane that there are these major updates ($yearH$half), that have public betas and such way in advance. And almost without exception, it's still a shitshow whenever said update goes live. I'd blame this on replacing QA employees with AI, but it started much before this current AI craze.

They killed off QA before ChatGPT came along. Basically they started relying on "some" machine learning, developers, customers, and now LLMs. They also cut support engineers despite charging arm and a leg for their "Unified" contracts.

But issues really started increasing now that MS is proudly boasting about most code being written by AI.

I'm not saying this was AI (I'm also not saying it wasn't), but a recent example just came to mind:

Windows 11’s New Agenda View Isn’t Native, And Users Are Already Worried

Microsoft is testing a new Agenda View for Windows 11, but its WebView2-based design and early performance issues have raised concerns among Insiders.

MS: Bring back a feature we had before!
AI: Sure, here's a scaffolding prototype that is less functional and uses more resources
MS: Great, people will just get more RAM! Ship it!

I have been "experiencing" this from the Enterprise side. Their release quality has gone down tremendously, outages went up and support has gotten shittier.

It's crazy how bad 365 support is. It's like their answer to everything is making one small settings change and then waiting 24 hours. I finally had to tell the guy enough we need to escalate this and like I knew it was an issue on their end that was resolved with me not needing to do anything.

I dont know about layoffs, but the changes to H1B visas, and the 10 billion dollar increase (3 to 13) investment into India's core AI infrastructure (training, development, maintenance, data centers), along with the 5.5 billion into Canada. I think they're going hard and it could lead to more offshoring.
It seems every few years, they go through a lot of staff changes.
