> Google makes more money on a typical Windows laptop than Microsoft does

I hadn't thought about it, but that's absolutely true! When you think of the Adsense network and the amount of money Google is making by typical consumer browser behavior, Google is making a lot more money than Microsoft on a typical Windows laptop.

The OS is now a commodity. Microsoft needs a new strategy.

Unfortunately they're taking the Google approach. Removal of Windows local accounts, telemetry (with all of the privacy issues), advertising, etc.

Microsofts strategy is to be the Windows of AI.
Coincidentally, Microsoft makes more money from Android than it does from Windows.
