    That is how it has been for a long time at Microsoft. They know Enterprise is where the money is, it hasn’t stopped them from trying to venture out into other areas tho.

      They stopped venturing a long time ago. Microsoft should’ve been split up. Then maybe some of their consumer products would’ve survived and thrived. Even Windows OS seems like an afterthought these days.

        Wait until Windows SE (subscription edition) comes out and you have to pay for it monthly… that’ll get those numbers up!

        I dunno. MS has become such a behemoth that us home users suffer nothing these days. Apparently they can pay enough, and enough workers, to keep consumer Windows alive. Why kill the golden goose? As to Office, that requires the bigger goose to run on top of.

        Always an unpopular take around here, but I don’t have 1/20th the issues lemmy tells me I should be enduring under Windows 11. No telling how old my install is. Started with Win10, years and years ago, swapped SSDs a time or two. Only reason I reboot is when the power blinks. (need a new UPS battery)

        This from a guy that reinstalled Windows weekly in the 90s. Meh. Works fine now.
