It’s about growth. Are any developers choosing to base their new backend on Windows in 2025? Or is Windows only really maintaining the relationships they already have, incapable of building a statistically significant network of new ones?
Even Azure, the new major revenue stream of Microsoft is built on Linux!
- close04 11mo ago> Even Azure, the new major revenue stream of Microsoft is built on Linux! Exactly, and has been for some time now. MS wasn’t asleep at the wheel, they just stopped caring about your infra. The money’s in the cloud now, especially the SaaS you neither own nor control. My question was if these large companies moving away from Windows are just clearing the last remnants of the OS rather than just now shifting their sizable Windows footprint to Linux. I’m trying to understand what was OP reporting. On the user side almost nobody is moving their endpoints to Linux, on the DC side almost nobody has too many Windows machines left to move to Linux after years of already doing this. The trend was apparent for years and years.
