Office365 - Microsoft LibreOffice

Bing - Microsoft Google

Bing chat: Microsoft ChatGPT

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well ChatGPT is Microsoft as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"Just" 49% of it.

That just makes it more funny that Bing is the emotionally unstable version

don't forget about Teams - Microsoft Discord

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought it was Microsoft Slack

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I hate teams with such a passion, i genuinely got upset reading the comparison

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It could be Microsoft Skyp- oh...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only redeemable thing about Teams is that it serves as an example of how you can be worst-in-class for everything, but still succeed somehow

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's because everything else is worse. Yes, corporate communication software is that bad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Who can forget about teams :(

You forgot Microsoft iOS… RIP Windows Phones

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or the Microsoft ipod... RIP Zune

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The Zune is actually quite serviceable in 2023. I saw a video of someone modifying one to take a Micro SD Card, a Bluetooth Chip and a bigger battery! I don't think there are any modifications to the Operating System you can do, but the Bluetooth off and on is actually piggybacking off the Wifi Switch for power to the BT board.

I legitimately enjoyed the couple Windows Phones I had. But I think that's an unpopular opinion.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They were actually really solid devices with a great user experience. They just came along too late.

Funny enough they actually do have their own build of java. https://www.microsoft.com/openjdk

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Wait, didn’t they have their own implementation of Java in the 90s, so applets could run in their IE browser. But it was intentionally such shit that applets never worked right and it basically killed Java in the browser?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

J# was also literally MS Java

Don't forget about Microsoft OpenGL.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

For Microsoft Chrome it's literally what it is on PC and Android. In iOS it's Microsoft Safari because Apple doesn't like actual competition.

Powershell - Microsoft Bash

Try the new cross-platform Powershell!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

for windows-land, powershell is actually nice, it can do a lot of things and isn't dramatically inferior to bash on a linux machine

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I find the Microsoft Chrome extra funny due to it being chromium based.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I think that's the joke.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think i just send them the last one, when ever a coworker ask me to install edge :D

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

MicrosoftChrome.exe sounds like a great name for a virus or something
