except windows itself is not loved by most developers, microsoft will take over the developer world when it replaces its windows with linux fully(instead of WSL2, which is nice but not great)
- charlieyu1 3y agoCan't see Linux replacing windows, their most profitable products (Windows and MS Office) are both based on closed ecosystem
- Shared404 3y agoIsn't Azure a much higher percentage of profit than Windows or Office for MS at this point?
- tcmart14 3y agoI don't know the numbers by heart. But if it isn't a higher percentage of profit right now.It certainly takes the cake for largest growth percentage with it eclipsing everything else soon (if it hasn't already).
- zamnos 3y agoThey very carefully don't actually tell us in their quarterly report. Microsoft is not new to the stock market, wall street, or making things seem different than they are, so O365 revenue isn't actually broken out from Azure revenue, so we just have to guess, based on our biases, which component is doing better vs GCP, and buy stock based on that analysis.
- rad_gruchalski 3y agoI don’t know. I’m happily using ms office on a mac and in the browser.
- zamnos 3y agoBut are you using Microsoft Edge as your browser?
- rad_gruchalski 3y agoSometimes. At work.
- waboremo 3y agoPart of the reason Windows isn't loved by developers is also hardware. So a switch to Linux won't fix this, unless they made the switch when Apple was releasing those horrific keyboards!
