    I hope Microshaft keep on the same trajectory. It’s pushing more users to Linux. I know it won’t happen, but nothing would make me happier than to see MS collapse.

      MS doesn’t even care about Windows anymore. All the money is in XBox and their various cloud services, including Office 365.

        Xbox is finished. They have absolutely nothing relevant going on in the console space, Sony ate their lunch primarily because Microsoft are pathologically incapable of developing a compelling product.

          “Make a slightly inferior copy and undercut the competition” has been their mode of operation since Day 1, so that shouldn’t really surprise me.

          I think they meant the Xbox services, games pass, which I do think is MS’s current business model focus. Could be wrong

            Which is crazy because they just upped the price of Game Pass by 50% and lost a ton of subscribers. We don’t know yet if the number of cancelations was financially significant, but it sure looked like it.
