    The thing is that if MS concentrated on providing a bulletproof experience, a sane licensing mode, with a low, cheap, entry bar, they would just keep being the top dog forever.

    Now they are just giving market share to Linux and MacOS for free.

      it really is wild that they’re pushing away so many people, who otherwise would just sit with them forever, just because profits must always increase

      like all they have to do is stop making things worse and people will stay with them and continue joining them. that’s literally all they have to do. and they can’t do it.

      The current version of macOS, Tahoe, is also atrocious. It’s completely unusable on a desktop, it feels like they want to make it work like an iPad.

      For the better or worse, the only good OS is now Linux.
