Hmm. Maybe the shareholders should have looked a little closer at that Bitcoin thing?
I've had this discussion at our local Bitcoin Meetups, but when was the last time you were excited about a Microsoft product release? If you're in corporate IT, you know they are basically threatening to cut your support if you don't upgrade to Windows 11 this year. They've been a dying company resting on their Windows and Office monopolies and have made bad decision after bad decision and they're coming home to roost.
"The cuts continue at Microsoft where a yet undisclosed number of jobs are set to be slashed in the security, sales and gaming teams.
The news has broken just six days after the company said it would be losing some personnel due to poor performance. These latest job losses are separate and details are scant at the moment."

I agree with you. Microsoft is a greedy company that treats poorly the users. The cozy spot for them is simple: what else is cheap and friendly to use? Linux? Sure, no. Apple? Fucking expensive.
I still don’t understand how people still use windows KNOWING the entire OS is monitoring everything you do. And it tells you it is doing. You can’t opt out. Ever.
Windows was and is a half-baked thing. So is the company.
It's simply a matter that it is considered the business standard.
I've worked for numerous corporate entities and Windows was the only OS allowed unless you had a specific use case or need. Until another OS can make a significant dent in the corporate world and force IT support skilling, it's going to be significantly entrenched.
