Yeah the malware is called Windows 11
If it’s possible to install malware with AI without you knowing about it, why on earth would they push this out as a feature?
“Line go up”
At this rate we might finally see the year of the Linux desktop. I don’t know anyone who likes Windows 11 it’s been bad enough to convert even die-hard Windows fans to Linux
More likely the year of the OSX desktop, at least in the workplace.
As much as I’d enjoy getting to work with more Macs I don’t think workplaces will deploy them at scale for the cost alone
What other options are there. Businesses aren’t gonna use Linux and Windows is quickly becoming an unviable product.
I work for a fortune 500 and we have a Linux program. It’s still in the testing phase, but it is being tested.
If you understand the security implications, you probably won’t enable it.

What a world we live in where not only does something like this happen, but that it’s allowed to happen. Companies don’t even get a slap on the wrist anymore, they can just do whatever they want now without any repercussions, that’s what’s really scary about this.
Microsoft is officially in love with AI.
Sounds to me like this agentic AI is the real malware here.
I’ll never enable it precisely because I understand the security and privacy implications. Windows would be a nice OS without all this crap, bloatware and services to “improve the user experience” and which nobody needs.
Glad I left.
