Windows hit its lowest market share in decades, Microsoft lost $400 billion in a week, and now their own president is admitting they need to fix the OS. SteamOS and Linux aren't waiting around.

Their stock seems to be doing a bit of a freefall lately: image

Its still pretty high compared to just 5 years ago. But investors look to leverage future positions. So its interesting its going down at such a quick rate.

    This isn't because windows sucks, this is all the recoil from AI. MS invested over $13b in openai and holds about a quarter of the company.

    Windows doesn't make enough money for Microsoft to seriously care about it, their baby now is Azure.

    Their big ticket money maker now is just Microsoft's version of RHEL? RIP

    Huh? RHEL isn't a cloud. Azure is Microsoft's version of aws / gcp

    I don't know what you mean by Linux spin. Are you thinking of hyperv?
