    To me it’s absurd how Microsoft gets beaten by a free desktop environment when windows is like their main product. They have billions of dollars. How do they manage to not do better?

      windows is like their main product

      TBF it isn’t really - only about 12% of their revenue. It’s more of a means to lock people into their other products.

        Well, that’s the thing, it’s the core part of their entire business. The glue that sticks everything together. Or at least used to be until Azure.
