The last year or so I have noted that search results from Google is not as good as they used to be.
My feeling is that they try to guess what I am after and they are not so good at it. I get fewer results and they tend to be more or less of the same kind. They are kind of blend as the answers you get from chat-ai.

AI is definitely overhyped.

It will work very well for some tasks and not that well for other tasks since there is no intelligence. The problem is that it is sold as intelligence.

Microsoft is also overhyped. They will drive their customers inte their cloud where they will pay more money to Microsoft and get stuck in the mud. It won't work for that long.

First it was bought by Ford, that made a mess of it. Then they sold it to Geely. GM bought Saab and made a mess of it.
US is not that successful as they believe.

Capitalism is for the people, the people is not for the capitalism.

The swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius wrote about it in 1902. The greed of some is a problem for the rest of us.

How about companies paying tax to make it possible for all children in the US to get a good possibility to get a bright future?

Not if the task is to produce documents in an open format.

"If you are going to discuss Microsoft's problems, I suggest not bringing up MS Office. Because it is one of the few examples of areas where Microsoft is doing just fine." It can't open Microsofts own ISO standard. It is not very good att OpenDocument. If productivity means producing documents in open formats, MS office is not there.

"Most people I know of know Microsoft as simply the company who makes the software they are familiar with."

Those people are not the one who are deciding the future in companies and organisations. If websites are built for standards, why should we use internet explorer?

If documments are open office or pdf, why should we use MS office?

Microsofts software are only good att Microsofts own specifications. With the move to mobile, they have lost their monopoly on clients which was their reason to exist.

Hardware has never been their problem, their problem has always been their strategy that has led them wrong.

By building products that are incompatible with others and refusing to open up Office files, they have implanted themself as the evil company in the mindset of those afffected. Those affected are those that realise that the world is always changing and want to be free to use any product.

Those are also the people that end up makeing decisions about what products to use.

Microsoft has "closed" them self out of the market.

Try out Alfresco, It is a nice document management system if you are familiar with IT-system.

I have this problem on a HP desktop-machine with Nvidia-graphics. It does not appear om My thinkpad X220 with intel graphics.

It's because we pull a fiber in to the living room. I have 100 Mbps that way. 200 SEK/month

;) I have a lot of Linux systems migrating from Debian version to Debian version without a lot of time and effort. That has been going on since 1995 and is the reason that we don't like to deploy on windows.

No, the market has done what it should.

Expensive and proprietary?

Free and Free?

Which would the market choose?
