What Microsoft does not seem to understand is that you don’t even have to make a GOOD product, you just have to make it better than eating broken glass.
“better than eating broken glass”
Oh, you mean better than Windows Vista Aero.
You say that but did you know that our new bowl of broken glass now come with the new groovy lemon© * topping?
*** : the "groovy lemon" topping is not to be legally considered as lemon and may induce in some people nausea, headaches, cramps or digesting issues, the final user waive any legal rights or reclamation while using our products.
I'm not sure they've even cleared that bar, to be honest
I think Microsoft understands that and thats why their product is in the state it is.
@Fizz @pennomi
Microsoft is going down.
Microsoft desktop share is sure but its still the default and they dont care about non business uses
@Fizz
Even they switch. Look at France, Germany, Europe.
Ok its still dominated by windows. I'm hoping the trend of switching to linux continues but I'm still realistic about the situation. Which is that windows is not losing a huge marketshare. They are still comfortably in the lead and growing in the areas they actually care about.
That, plus in the past there have been places in Europe switching to Linux and then switching back. It seems like many learned from that experience and they are following better plans to switch software over time (rather than replacing everything at once), but we'll see
I'm hoping euOS can come out with a full desktop, MDM and idp stack and give businesses an easy way into the enterprise linux environment.

If I remember correctly is even Microsoft itself migrating to Linux. Most and common parts of azure and the hyper scaler are based on Linux. Microsoft pushes WSL to its operating systems. I think the underlaying core system for future MS OS (bootable out of the cloud) will be based on Linux.
@Fizz
Yes still the party goes on. I think it took 10-15 years.
