Ubuntu had the goal to replace Windows since it's inception. It's literally Bug 1 in their database. And yet, it still hasn't happened. Do you really want to argue that billions of people are all mad, stupid or have a "psychosis"? Or could there be, maybe, just maybe, a reason besides psychosis that people continue to use Windows and Office?
- rightbyte 3y agoI am sorry. I meant the valuation of Microsoft (and big tech in general, compared to say Ford) is a psychosis. Not that people want to use Windows over say Ubuntu.
- greenyoda 3y agoUbuntu may have failed to replace Windows/Office, but there are more significant threats to Microsoft's market. Some big companies (like the one I work for) are scrapping MS Office and Teams and moving everyone to Google Workspace. Consumers who only use computers for web browsing are less likely to need Windows PCs - they could switch to Chromebooks, iOS/Android tablets or phones.
