no, the issue is not with the installation but basically it is about slack (and some other not-used app) complaining that Teams being a part of an office suite prevented slack from competition.

Which is hilarious considering that zoom took off without bundling with anything - while slack STILL is unable to offer a proper video conferencing.

and the hilarious part is that just like with IE it addressed completely non-existent problem as the future showed that the users went after subscription services and browsing on mobile.

except this EU ruling has nothing to do with it being bundled with Windows

People realized that actually it requires a lot of investment to produce an office suite.

the problem is that EU basically wants Teams to be more expensive so that Slack will become cheaper and thus more attractive.

It is hilarious that Slack still has not been able to introduce proper video calls while introducing relatively useless integrations.

except it has always been the case no? how many artists are there nowadays in comparison to the classical music era? same with writers.

it is no different from what we have right now. With big tech you will just have more opportunities to do something yourself rather than paying for "hollywood papa" or bend the knee to disney.

slack murdered itself from the market by not delivering good video conferencing solution. Zoom succeeded immensely and it was not bundled with any office suite.

And the hilarious part is that Slack is still crap in regards of video calls.

Hollywood Actors are doing what they can to preserve their existence but eventually they will also be left behind - you can't stop the progress.

> If the medieval guilds had their way London would still only have one bridge

Damn, this phrase is gold.

Europe is hell bent on being left behind techwise eh?

Maybe if Slack offered proper video conferencing tools it would not complain. Should ask Zoom for advice.

> Curb Stomped by Apple actually having a developer platform strategy around AI

Lol no. Intelligence of an apple did not curb stomped anything. Including apples. So far regulators like EU and countries like China curbstomped the fruit intelligence.

do you understand that Oracle was chosen in the first because all the cloud providers are running out of the available hardware? Microsoft also partnered with Oracle with the same reason. Oracle has some cloud infra, that nobody is using (lol).

I mean, AI is a vector for their growth now and Satya questioned in the past like why Microsoft research did not produce something like OpenAI.

but that's the thing - the whole point of AI for Apple is to try to improve the stagnating iPhone sales. I wonder if it will lead to iPhone losing some marketshare in EU due to that.

The bigger question if it will affect Apple's sales in the region.

I guess Nvidia's stock will increase higher due to various vendors like Dell trying to enter the AI business.

"we want to sell more phones" that's basically it.

The difference is that people who use Android don't use ChromeOS for most of the part. Or ignore Workspaces altogether.

With Apple their are not going after Safari and whatever integration - they are embedding stuff into OS across the devices. It helps that they have their Apple One subscription and cloud drive integration. Also MacOS, iOS connectivity etc. Search across all your devices and files, analytics.

With Microsoft the whole Office 365 integration is extremely tight - share files, use analytics dashboard, integration with sharepoint, outlook and calendars and so on.

Just like with GCP and other Google's offerings - they are good separately and people are fine using them independently. But they don't work nicely together.

The problem is that none of Google's products are unified into a fully used ecosystem.

For example with Apple they integrated everything together seamless into the OS - granted I am not sure if people are using their email app or calendar that often. But with AI they integrated it all together at least.

With Microsoft they benefit from their tight integration between Office suite, Outlook, teams (and calendar integration between outlook and teams is quite convenient) etc. They only have issues with consumer products as they are unable to achieve the same level of integrations as they achieve within the corporate - corporate Windows instances with laptops and stuff are corporate to Apple products for consumers. Microsoft does not have user facing products, but their enterprise solutions are nicely connected to each. And new services like Loop or Copilot are just naturally expanded on that.

But Google? I literally use Gmail but only for emails. Chrome for browsing but I have no integrations between Chrome and Gmail aside the account overall in my flow. They have their streaming service with Youtube Premium but it is not really that connected to overall other infra or services - unlike for example Apple, that is offering their Apple One subscription. App Stores? Google Play exists in its own universe that has no relation to other google services either. And that's without AI stuff.

There is something missing between google services.

That's the thing - apple stocks raised due to AI features but it is basically a speculation - if it does not move sales of iPhones, the stock will go down.

I think MSFT is the best positioned long term - especially when they start producing their own chips - as they have the right moat to vendor lock in. Add to that the fact that AWS missed the AI boat completely and their could gain market share from AWS too.

The solution to free speech - just like with democracy - is the education but that's not going to happen as too many actors want the power.

Essentially Google has no idea how to leverage their AI as Gemini for search just does not work.

Apple went with deep AI integration into OS in hope to sell more devices and Microsoft went full blown corporate + windows devices. Google can try to integrate it maybe with Chrome OS to sell more devices? They are also trying with various providers (like Samsung) but nature of Android is that people might just go with basic apps and stuff.

I mean essentially it boils down to the fact that none of the huge cloud providers - for now at least - produce their own hardware enmasse.

The moment it happens, Nvidia will stop being that profitable from hardware sales there. For now they should be able to break records YoY. And indeed it feels like 2-3 years it will last.

But market did not reject it - the OS and corresponding copilot devices literally hasn't launched yet.

For example you had some issue while developing the application, but you don't remember what parameters did you use to create this bug.

Or for example, you were reading some article but did not save it and now want to recall it.

Or maybe you watched some music clip or song on the some website and forgot the link to website.

A lot of use cases.

How Oracle is able to survive these days? I guess the moat of Oracle DB?

It had one? lol

Erm...But that's not what is written in the article though?
