Microsoft's vision of the future: where asking the AI to open Calculator results in it removing the Calculator app entirely, giving you "probabilistic mathematical estimates" instead, and then offering to create a PowerPoint about the history of addition. Because why would you want deterministic results from a calculator when you could get an answer that's "likely between 3 and 5, with high confidence it's approximately 4"? The user just wants to do basic arithmetic, but Windows 12's AI-first approach has decided that legacy apps like Calculator need to go. The AI even admits "mathematical reasoning isn't my core strength" while trying to handle 2+2. That's like hiring a chef who can't boil water but promises to write you a thesis on the thermodynamics of pasta cooking. The escalation from "streamlined OS with AI integration" to "we deleted your apps and replaced them with a chatbot that hallucinates math" perfectly captures every developer's nightmare about over-engineered solutions. Sometimes you just need a calculator, not a probabilistic language model with an inferiority complex about arithmetic.

You know that moment when a Windows installer says "The wizard will now install your software" and you think it's actually about to happen? Yeah, Gandalf knows better. That "Next" button is just the beginning of a 47-step journey through license agreements, custom installation options, toolbars you definitely don't want, and the inevitable "Do you want to make this your default browser?" question. The wizard isn't installing anything now . It's merely suggesting the possibility of installation in the distant future, after you've answered existential questions about installation directories and whether you want desktop shortcuts. Gandalf's seen some stuff—probably spent centuries clicking through setup wizards while the One Ring could've been destroyed twice over. The real magic trick is how these installers manage to turn a 5MB program into a 20-minute ordeal.
