    The won’t kill Windows until there is some alternative for consuments and no, Linux ain’t it…mostly because there is still a big faith in common folk that Linux is some arcane tech. Which is pretty much proven in their opion when they try to use it, cause they try to use it like Windows.

    And no, Lemmings don’t count, most of us have some kind of dev experience, be it professional or hobbyist.

      Your argument is more out of date than Vista. Windows is not the default because people like their software, or would choose it over anything else. It’s because they’ve positioned themselves as the default monopoly since the goddamn 1980s.

      To see what happens when Microsoft has to compete on quality of software, just ask yourself why Copilot and Recall aren’t being rolled out on Windows phones.

        25% of the world still uses Windows 7. People aren’t going to switch to Linux when they have an OS that just works.
