We'll win eventually, once Microsoft gives up. We've got far more staying power, since it costs us virtually nothing to stay the course. It may take another 20 years, but we'll get there. :)
- jdsully 8y agoWhy would Microsoft ever give up? They make billions off of Windows.
- burning_hamster 8y agoFor the time being, talent is limited. Their costly engineers' time might be spent more productively on other products. Windows is already no longer their primary cash cow (nor even their secondary -- IIRC, it comes third in revenue after Azure and Office). I don't think they will kill windows any time soon, but I do think that the probably is non-zero, even in the not too distant future.
