Talks About Nadella's Microsoft Exit After Chatter About Tim Crook Leaving Apple (Years Ahead of Retirement Age)
Selling a lie.
Microsoft's latest so-called 'results' were a pile of "official lies" - as usual - and some investors could see past/through the lies. They were particularly alarmed by the waste of money that was slop, resulting in a debt surge of 20,000+ million in one year (in spite of the mass layoffs).
"It's all gaming fault, apparently," said this one comment after the 'results'. To quote: "Microsoft’s Xbox hardware revenue has declined for three financial years in a row, and it looks like those declining revenues are going to continue throughout fiscal 2026. Xbox hardware revenue was down 32 percent year-over-year during the recent holiday quarter. Overall gaming revenue was also down 9 percent."
It was down by more than that. Sales of XBox fell by something like 70% in a year (depending on the country).
"The reason why Microsoft's stock got hammered today," another person said: "Investors know full well that Microsoft's AI and all of the software Microsoft pushes out the door is bug filled useless garbage, especially Copilot, so Investors punished the stock today and hopefully continued to do so." The first comment said: "Well stated and the smoke with other tech companies and Microsoft will continue through 2026. However, the PR leads are working hard to assure full panic is further down the road. I'm forecasting a Summer/Fall light crash and mass chaos by the holidays. Keeping up with the lies is tiresome and the cracks in the system are inevitable!"
Some hours ago another one added: "Also, the computer upgrade cycle, both for business and personal use, is in the toilet now that memory and storage prices have skyrocketed (due to the large AI companies hoarding all of the product). This trend won't end until the AI bubble pops."
Many of these comments come from Microsoft insiders and yesterday we noticed that thelayoff.com completely deleted at least two pages that mentioned Bill Espteingate's sex stuff. To be fair, it was off-topic, nothing to do with layoffs. Some other new pages in thelayoff.com make fun of slop 'code' resulting in truly terrible software that has serious (critical) bugs, even recently-acknowledged bugs that crippled or bricked Windows:
This is not a crazy idea at all:
Nadella's plan (offloading everything to slop) was temporarily useful as a Ponzi scheme, but it is destroying what's left of "Microslop". Mass layoffs and record debt do not represent a company's health. This is a giant Ponzi scheme based on fallacious buzzwords. █
