To this day, I maintain that if Microsoft hadn't neglected that essential aspect of the Windows ecosystem for decades, they would probably still dominate the personal computing industry.
- webmaven 10y agoUh... Oh, you mean 'personal computing' in it's original sense, which encompasses mobile platforms as well, not just desktop computers.
- Silhouette 10y agoRight. IMHO, a lot of the reason that alternative devices, from smartphones to games consoles, took off was they solved the biggest long-standing headache for Windows users: they just wanted to get and use software to do things, not to worry about installing and configuring and updating that software or potential difficulties with removing it or how it interacted with other software.
