    I’ve come to truly believe that MS stopped caring too much about windows now. They’re focused more on ads and other subscription services. They are still in the mindset of “we are the only player in the field and people can’t live without us”.

      They are still in the mindset of “we are the only player in the field and people can’t live without us”.

      No, they are in the mindset “we are a company selling cloud Linux, our legacy products are money drain”. They clearly state it in their yearly reports.

      You’d have thought they’d have learned from losing the browser monopoly they had 15 years ago due to complacency

        They are a mindless organization, not one or a few using logic. Everyone working there can figure out the general issues, on their own, for sure. But it’s an out of control huge organization. Even the top leadership is along for the ride at this point.

        Every department is headed by competent and intelligent people, I assume. But they each only control a small slice of the environment, and even in each division there are many things the middle management cannot control directly. Too big

        It’s not like a car manufacturer, there is an exponential difference in the number of parts to control and the complexity.

        When the sales, and other parts are woven in, I doubt there is a dozen people alive who can explain how all the company structure works together
