NOW LET US Article – Microslop

A critical analysis of Microsoft's recent strategies, sparked by CEO Satya Nadella's comments on "AI slop," detailing the company's controversial shift with Windows and forced AI integration that has alienated longtime users.

Microslop. There, we did our part!

This article will more than likely buy us a blacklist on the Bing network. For those people younger in the crowd, asking, "What's a Bing?" Ohh, bless you, child, for nature is healing.

First, a special thanks to the PCMasterRace thread on Reddit for the graphic and credit to SaucyStrawberries, ITXEnjoyer, TheClone_, and PCLover2 for the revised title you are seeing above this site. We know that you guys gave full permission to use this logo. But we still like to give credit where it is due!

Want to know the wonders that are Microslop and A.I. from randos on the net? And what are we doing about it? MY! You've come to the right place. Read on if you want to hear more!

Microsoft's Satya Nadella wants you to stop saying AI "slop" in 2026

The king of slop has spoken.

One of the many mistakes the sadder, uncool cousin of Mr. Clean has made is telling the Internet what it can or cannot say. As if he believes he can threaten people on the net as if we were one of his employees.

Yeah, that's not going to work.

But there's a bigger problem than just a delusional CEO guy who built up their Azure server division and ultimately wants you to commit to their rental cloud using inferior video products like Teams that record at 720p, despite buying Skype and Mixer, which offered far superior 1080p streaming. Or, painful cloud storage synchronization systems like OneDrive which may or may not sync everything in a folder. It's also shoving Tay, no wait, Cortona, oh fuck, Copilot too hard, they have to replace one of their flagship products, "Office 365" with "Copilot 365" just to show the world:

Everyone loves AI! See! Everyones using it! Even to search for files. Which originally was done with dir /s. But now with 40x more computing power is required to do the same job! - Microslop

Personal time.

As we are talking about history, we shall refer to post-slop "Microsoft," where, during our many years of working in IT, the operating system has certainly given us a career with all of the twisting maneuvers this company has done since Y2K. forcing everyone off of Windows 3.1 and into Windows 98. We never really hated Microsoft. It played our games. And gave us a reasonable platform for business, gaming, and creativity. The number one reason why people stick with this OS and people still believe in Microsoft is that it gave people careers (unless you were one of the lucky few who were in a business that used Macs for graphics or a non-profit that then took the time to switch to Linux.

Windows 98 made no sense to us, so we switched to Windows 2000, which quickly became our daily driver. eventually, Windows XP arrived, offering better hardware codec compatibility when playing higher-resolution videos. Then came Windows 7, which phased out 32-bit processors, prompting a small percentage of those users to switch to Linux distros that are still being updated, such as Void Linux. Windows Vista was released, which introduced the tiling system that no one wanted. Microsoft took a step back and eventually gave us Windows 10, which, to us, was the longest-running OS we've ever used.

Windows 10

Over the course of Windows 10, we noticed that all of these updates, security patches, and everything turned a system that ran with 1-2GB of RAM into almost 4GB of RAM while running an average amount of background process utilities. Programming became worse as simply utilities like turning on the fans on your motherboard required almost 2 GB of RAM alone just to run because it's built on the front-end of browsers. Speaking of the browser in Windows 10, this is one of those moments where the browser and the operating system are inseparable. You cannot uninstall Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer without causing some kind of serious failure because this is how they were going to control the internet, which is by forcefully making the end-user use their browser and not Firefox or Google.

This would be about the time we left the IT Industry. Because IT was originally supposed to assist and educate the business on how to be better with their computer. In most companies, IT was used as a weapon by upper management to be a Gestapo against their employees by monitoring what they are doing and writing people up for not following a tyrannical police that stifled innovation in many work environments around the United States, if not the world.

Also in the background, Microsoft has been quietly purchasing advertisement agencies like the old Bonzai Buddy program. In general, it starts filling its programming roster with companies that do not respect the privacy rights of its end-users, only for it to show its ugly head with Windows 11.

Windows 11

It wasn't just key generators we relied on, like in previous operating systems, to make Windows 11 remotely usable for us. It was programs such as Rufus(clear-net) that transferred ISOs to USB sticks that offered other mods, such as disabling TPM, memory, and processor restrictions.

As discovered back in our thin-client blog. It was finding out that even after Rufus was installed. That the supposed security updates that Microsoft gave you weren't really security updates at all, but just advertisements for apps you didn't need or didn't want. Eventually, Edge and CoPilot were installed and couldn't be removed. Which, if you were to describe a program that installs itself on your operating system, unwanted and cannot be removed. That's malware. And no, it wasn't because of the keygen software or Rufus. This software was coming directly from Microsoft.

In which we have to feel bad for anyone attempting to join the information technology industry, knowing the enemies that we fought in the mid-2000's are now 'Microsoft affiliated partners' in 2026.

Now, there is good software to try and combat this. Such as Windows Deboater. Which works up until the point you set up a new user on your OS in which, during the profile setup wizard, it will redownload all of the garbage you wanted gone from your OS in the first place.

Windows 12

Hasn't really come out yet. It's all speculation. But given that the Windows operating system only makes up 20 percent of Microsoft's profit, there is absolutely no reason to cater to users. So it will be likely that it will be a subscription service. There may even be a requirement that your system needs to have a TPU as well as the TPM so that Microsoft can use your own hardware against you to push their CoPilor AI agenda. Which Microslop seems to want CoPilot to consume every one of their products? There's not even 'OFFICE' anymore! Just CoPilot 365. Microslop will make you use their AI by force if they must.

Time to be real.

We have to redact our statement at the beginning. We do hate an operating system now. Because in the past two years, Microslop went out of its way to make us hate it. An uncontrollable nightmare that installs background tasks like "Microsoft Recall" to spy on every single thing you do. An operating system that doesn't even respect administrative power to remove something because to Microsoft, they don't even trust people with domain admin access to delete, unless you have to jump through a series of PowerShell scripts to attain ownership, as you type of these horrid commands we're questioning the whole point of being an administrator when you can't even admin your own machine.

We're tired of big tech's shit. We will not subscribe to the concept of * "You will own nothing and like it."* Nor do we expect Microslop to bend the knee to a person who was hardly a customer, either. In fact, to the people who supported their empire and made a living doing so. Satya Nadella would rather see us dead somewhere on the side of the road.

Business is never a democracy. Firefox proved this by opening a town hall meeting about AI, then flipping everyone the finger and deploying AI anyway. When we were still in the information technology business, w
