Microsoft's success has objectively been a step backwards for computing.
Anyone who has used a NeXTstation with 32Mbytes of RAM and an 68040 CPU, which did not even have accelerated video, can certainly understand how bloated and wasteful of resources all the various Windows applications and operating systems have been over the years.
How many resources does Xbox use? It's not essential either...
