Update: 2025-12-11
Description
Windows has been reshaped into a cloud-first, AI-driven platform — but at what cost to everyday users? (Summary: 2 minutes; Original: 21 minutes)
In this concise summary, host Dagogo Altraide examines how Microsoft’s push for Copilot, agentic features, and subscription/cloud revenue shifted Windows’ priorities away from users. Learn why forced Microsoft account sign-ins, TPM 2.0 requirements, OneDrive prompts, and the controversial Windows Recall feature damaged trust and privacy expectations, and how Copilot’s real-world limitations undermine the promise of AI assistance. Featuring a stark account from Rob Braxman about unwanted system changes, this episode connects product design to business incentives and explores implications for Windows, macOS, and Linux adoption.
Key takeaways: the ethics of AI and AI alignment, privacy risks, trade-offs of cloud monetization, and practical issues like TPM and setup hurdles. Ideal for listeners interested in Microsoft, Windows, AI, Copilot, and tech policy.
