    Only bad management is keeping everything from being crazy fast. No reason for today’s programs to be slower than what we had a decade ago.

      I think many programmers and business models have given up on programs running ‘fast’ but rather they just running and shoving them out quickly. Add in all the AI programming, and I don’t see it getting better. It’s basically like most people when they earn more income. The more speed and memory a computer has, the more programmers will use of it.

      A computer from the 80’s starts up a million times faster than any modern computer.

    That’s like them deliberately closing a strait (for profit), and then reopening it to much glory to their very achievement.

    And they didn’t even debloat telemetry, they just turned off the ads.

    Also what local search these days isn’t close to instant (which I would say it’s faster than “crazy fast”)?

      Are there programs for Windows/Mac or Linux that make search of everything quick and instant? I can’t think of any that don’t involve pre-indexing or massively fail to find what you are looking for (or are slow).

    If they want to push Bing so hard I wonder why didn’t they just show you the local results first and then asynchronously load Bing suggestions in a separate section. It would make good UX while still promoting their search engine.

    Good that it can be disabled though
