Unfortunately that's the Google of a decade or two ago. Today's Google is very focused on cost-cutting and I can't imagine them investing in new future-focused projects like those which are not under pressure to turn a profit any time soon.
Less and even less.
yes it was just a joke, wordplay, really.
I barely used windows for workgroups. but I did use windows from XP or 95 onwards. actually I used both. and yeah I remember a bit about the hardware discovery. it was called plug and play, iirc.
I remember reading how badly windows Vista turned out.
and then there was 8, which I didn't check out much, but remember reading it was somewhat of a flop, because they tried to make everything mobile oriented, even on desktops.
haven't used windows much since, except for 7, which was okay for me.
Go look at the breakdown of the number of research papers coming out of Google. In 2023 there were 744, in 2017 there were 637. Two decades ago, there were half as many.
