idk. I think it's very clearly labelled that this is the author's guess at where things are going, with context around it to explain those prognostications. I like articles like that; it's not saying anything definitive, but his specific angle on why agenic AI might be so interwoven into Windows 12 to make it impossible to strip out was fairly compelling, imho.

Who knows; it's not like Microsoft isn't aware of the AI backlash, so maybe they'll scrap most of the agenic AI bullshit. Or maybe ask the speculation is wrong and it won't be included. But if Windows 12 includes deeply integrated AI slop, then I think the author has a decent chance of being right.

But I'm happy to hear why this article is a waste of time, so let me know if you disagree with his argument. I'm not married to the idea, but I'm seeing Linux adoption IRL already by "normal people" who have connections to technical people, so I'm biased toward the argument.
