      Well Windows wasn’t an important Microsoft product for like 15 years now. It’s been like 7 years when Microsoft is a company mostly selling cloud Linux services. Ridiculous I know, but that’s from their yearly financial reports. It seems their plan is to cash out Windows as fast as possible before dropping it.
