> what's the return on investment for making Windows 11 better?

Windows OS is what keeps most users in Microsoft's ecosystem.

I am still on Windows as some software I need to use aren't on Linux.

I am waiting for the day that I can get rid of Windows completely.

When I do that what Microsoft product do you think I will still use ? Office ? Azure ? Copilot ? :)) Outlook ?

No MSFT product ever!

Will I ever recommended Microsoft's products to my clients - Never

Sure, Microsoft has a grip on Enterprise.

Let's see how long that lasts if Windows keeps going downhill.

Assume a hypothetical future where all that software gets ported to Linux. How much better would Windows have to get for you to keep using it?

I suspect they've done the math and realize that the slow trickle of users leaving would cost too much time and effort to retain.

How much does the average knowledge worker actually use desktop apps anymore? At this point I would bet the super-majority of work is done in a browser, and secondarily electron-apps.

VALORANT for me is the only game keeping my gaming desktop on Windows
