I would guess Fortune 500 still runs on desktop windows? (Don’t know but this is just my guess).
- xcrunner529 1y agoYep. Most any regular company is majority windows. It’s not exciting but why would they bother throwing that influence away.
- fsloth 1y agoYup! Boring technologies are great.
- dehrmann 1y agoYes, but for how long? At some point, IT realizes everything's in the browser, and general-purpose computing is a security risk.
- 9dev 1y agoNot every company is a startup that only needs gmail and Figma, though. The ecosystem of LoB apps and device controller software is ginormous, and not going away any time soon.
- LeFantome 1y agoIt will be a long time before Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory, and Excel are not important enough to enterprises to justify the Microsoft subscription. And Visual Studio is still a huge part of the Microsoft capture strategy. Microsoft is working on separating all of the above from Windows without losing too much control but it is going to take a while.
- dehrmann 1y ago> Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory, and Excel Exchange should be SaaS for 99% of businesses. There's a web version of Excel that's probably OK-ish. I'm not sure what Active Directory looks like in a world without Windows.
