Linux on laptops/desktops will only survive if Microsoft maintains their model of working on different types of hardware and not insisting on being the hardware

Linux on laptops/desktops will only survive if Microsoft maintains their model of working on different types of hardware and not insisting on being the hardware controller. With so many people embracing Apple's approach of one company controlling every part of the stack, I don't think Microsoft will keep supporting their model for long unless forced to.
- pjmlp 5y agoThat isn't Apple approach, rather Apple is the surviving vendor of that approach, which was quite common until the PC came into the scene, thanks to IBM not being able to prevent Compaq from the attack of the clones. They even tried with PS/2, MCA architecture, but by then the pandora box was open.
