| So is Microsoft, albeit a bit late to the party. Taskbar now movable, performance improvements hitting insider builds, MS BUILD half about WSL containers, native coreutils, a dev edition of windows using Winget config to strip all the bloat out, all new system dialogs replacing a good chunk of the old Win32 stuff, WinUI reactor, ability to remove AI models & Copilot from the OS, etc. Classic case of the reality distortion field here. |

| Oh? So I can now disable "AI" and "onedrive" and "microsoft accounts" in windows? COOL! where do i enable that? |

| ▲ | thewebguyd 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | You always could disable OneDrive (it's uninstallable), and you could always use a local account on Pro editions of Windows, that's nothing new. Uninstalling Copilot and the local AI models is whats new on current insider builds. | | |

| Wait - what is the dev edition of windows? |
| |
| ▲ | thewebguyd 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Edition is probably a bit generous (although that's the verbiage they used at the BUILD conference), but its a set of winget configs (works like Ansible) to disable a bunch of stuff, install WSL, starship, coreutils, node, python, whatever other SDKs you want, etc. with one command. https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsDeveloperConfig I believe they used the word edition because they plan on offering W365 cloud VMs with this config pre applied. |
