> Of course they care. for the last ten years Microsoft has pushed all of its effort into Azure, which is coincidentally based on Linux (!) accept it, they gave up on Windows. Windows 11 is my proof...a lame re-skinning which can't even displace Windows 10 > You should have a look at Windows' desktop market share and get back to us. They still own the space. no one under 25 uses Windows! Go look at any college classroom and get back to us! Windows has been in decline for ten years, the stats aren't a fluke seriously...just walk into any college classroom in America... go see what ecosystem anyone under 25 is invested in...now tell me what the future looks like

I am a lifelong Mac user. My work laptop is Windows. Always has been, always will be. My employer probably buys more computers every week than I will buy in my entire life. Nobody in the space gives a crap what laptops people buy for personal use once every 5-7 years.

  the third world isn't buying Intel's top-of-the-line CPUs... go look at high-end Lenovo laptops with Intels' best CPUs...$3k+++ Intel and AMD won't last long selling cheap CPUs to a shrinking Windows market overseas

    You think every non-US country is third world?

    Third world? I live in Western Europe and in my entire time before finishing college I saw a single Macbook in class. Among all people I personally know about 2-4 others use a Mac and we have a single Apple store in the entire country. Want a custom configuration from the officially licensed vendor? Have fun waiting 6 months. I can't see any shrinking Windows market here.
