"We need to put Copilot into more places!" - Satya Nadella most likely

I've yet to meet anyone who wants AI added to anything. If they released a version of windows+office tomorrow that was "guaranteed free of AI" it would be their top seller

But, then all Microsoft's top managers, who apparently have bonuses based on how much AI is shoved down our throats, wouldn't get those bonuses. Nobody's cares whether or not something is a top seller because their incentives are obviously aligned toward cramming AI.

Needs more javascript for native functions in the OS.

idk, Gnome is full of javascript and is snappy! Don't think it's the language itself, the bloat must come from elsewhere
