Office sucks, Azure sucks, Windows sucks, xbox sucks and etc. Everything modern microsoft touches turns to crap. The only good thing they have is VScode and even that is getting bloated.

I'm in my 30' so I remember office 97 and 2000. I still believe that was the peak of their UX.

>Office sucks, Azure sucks, Windows sucks, xbox sucks and etc. Everything modern microsoft touches turns to crap. That might be true, but judging from desktop OS market share, what the competition is doing, sucks more.

  linux is more usable today than ever before. The only chokehold that microsoft have on windows is legacy business apps, and office (and various compliance requirements for gov't software that opensource tend not to have, like FEDRAMP). MacOS is gaining ground, but because their hardware is legitimately superior. I imagine commodity laptops to be a dying breed in a few more years. Gaming on a windows PC is the last bastion that macs tend not to compete in at all, and on that front there's SteamOS. Microsoft signed their own OS death warrant when they switched from being backward-compatibility oriented way back in the Vista days. It might take another 2 decades for it all to play out, but from what i can see, it's one straight road down to obsoletion.

    It's all forward looking with MacOS and Linux. Windows is the only OS that can do everything anyone asks of it right now, which is in my book what a computer should do. If games work via Proton/Wine they will have worse performance. Many do not work at all due to requiring anticheat. Windows, as a certain group loves to say, just works.

    The sales pitch Microsoft has with Office (including Teams and SharePoint), EntraID (formerly Azure AD) and Azure is pretty strong for companies.

  Real competition only works in the fairy tale of the free market, where users have all the time and money they want to make a selection and do the transition. It's not the reality. People use MS products because they have to, not because they choose to. Even MS knows and uses this, let's start from that
