What we were promised:
- The world as seen in Frutiger Aero
- Solving chess by running minimax on quantum computers
- Fully automated luxury communism powered by blockchain
What we were delivered:
- The phone selling machine in Walmart values your $700 phone at "$59 Today", but when you hit "Cancel", it bumps the price to "$79 Today" while stealing your data via USB. You can sell the phone for $400 on Ebay.
- Microsoft will try to bruteforce your zip archive's password if you upload it to OneDrive

    Especially ones that can execute long-running background tasks on your machines so they don't even really have to pay for the compute except perhaps in mounting customer resentment.

    the crazy insane bizarre thing about Microsoft is that they could literally use the world's computers for anything. At one point Windows Update scanned networks even with multicast disabled and located other Windows machines, solely to exchange update blobs without straining the distribution servers and the network.
