Let’s be real: Windows is practically a monopoly. They use it to push their online services in ridiculous ways. I doubt >10% of the current Edge userbase is through conscious decision. Teams obviously cannot compete on its own terms with any competitors, its prevalence only comes from being part of Microsoft’s all in one office suite package that no individual company can compete with.
- booleandilemma 2y agoI don't think it's true that Windows is a monopoly anymore. You could always get a mac. Most people I know use macs, in fact. I still use Windows but I'm in the minority. I tried going to Linux earlier but I still feel Windows has smoother performance.
- asadotzler 2y agoWindows is 60-70% of US PC usage. Mac is 20-25%. Globally, it's even more lopsided with Windows at about 75% and Mac at about 15%. Hard to say Windows isn't a monopoly.
