The world has already realised this – while Windows remains popular on the desktop, the desktop is dying, and Windows has had a small and declining share of total new devices for quite a few years now [1]. As the large pool of workers who learned to use computers during the 1990s and 2000s retires (slowly), Windows will die out in enterprise too. Microsoft is encouraging this by shifting its apps to the web and competing mobile OSes. They want to get businesses into 365 and Azure where they can make sustainable profits, and eventually shed the cost of maintaining Windows.
