Most people don't know how to tell what's going wrong with a windows computer

A windows computer that relies on cloud services, as an increasing and often nonsensical subset of the functionality on one does, can often only be fixed by Microsoft directly

Microsoft intervenes directly and spends billions of dollars annually on anticompetitive tactics to ensure that other options are not considered by businesses

And with this monopoly, it has shielded itself from having to compete on even crucial dimensions like reliability, maintainability, or security
