Hours Ago The Register MS Published Microsoft Windows SPAM "Sponsored by Intel." The Fake 'Article' Says "AI" 34 Times.

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 14, 2026

Why does the Web site The Register MS keep mentioning (or covers) "AI"?

The answer is simple.

The Register MS gets paid to do so.

Who by?

Companies that sell slop vapourware and call it "AI".

Why does The Register MS try to sell Windows PCs with "AI" branding or "+" or "CoPilot" or whatever?

Follow the money.

The Register MS isn't a serious online newspaper. And it's run by Microsofters. They always have the last word. Captured publisher. █
