Lmao, no.

They don’t want users using this, it would be a mess. M$ would need to provide consumer facing OS support if they ever tried it, which is something they’ve vehemently refused to do for decades. It would also lead to their OS being blamed as the problem when the internet is having issues. Not to mention the consumer market isn’t really where they get their revenue from when it comes to OS sales.

They want enterprise subscriptions. End of story. Enterprise subs mean there’s an enterprise IT team involved, to at least a bare minimum extent.

They aren’t likely to want end users on this pretty much ever. It’s virtually all downside for them.

Unless they outsource their OS support to CoPilot.

Except that won’t be able to get over the main hurdle of “bad internet means bad OS”.
