I think MS is in trouble. Nearly everyone's home computer just runs Chrome now. Work PCs are going the same direction. Even developers can probably rely on a SSH and RDP to a server running anything. Android tablets are selling for about the same price as Windows license.
- supernovae 6y agoPC/Laptop and Microsoft are thriving. You can't even buy a modern GPU from AMD or Nvidia and Ryzen cpus are sold out everywhere - and there is a massive new console launch with X86 on new Xbox and PS5. Windows has supported ARM for a while and they have a nice arm device right now. New mobile Ryzen chips are extremely fast and efficient. X86 isn't going anywhere. If Apple is successful putting algorithms into silicon for micro efficiencies Intel/AMD/Microsoft aren't going to sit idly by.
- x87678r 6y agoGood point on the consoles. I'm just thinking about my office and seeing thousands of new PCs bought every year. We're now getting more terminals and virtualized PCs running on servers. There isn't much reason to stay x86.
