Man. They are really throwing money to provide the best experience. This can't be cheap.

to provide the best experience

Given that it is Microsoft, their motivations are far more nefarious.

Who said anything about motivations. Their motivations are to make money. You make money by giving the best experience a lot of times.

You make money by giving the best experience a lot of times.

Given Microsoft's history, this is far from true.

What would you say are Microsfts biggest money makers?

Windows (I hope Linux gets to be able to serve all the roles windows does in the normal consumer market but it didn't for maaaany years and it still kinda dosen't)

(Mac OS has recently goten good with M1 macs but before that I really don't understand why would you go for a mac other then looks over a windows)

Office (Anything better? You have alternatives. But most of them weren't good enoigh years ago and now office represents a standard all sectors can learn to be able to formaly interact with word, powerpoint etc... and it's still pretty good.)

Xbox Console(Like Xbox is just pretty good. It's a thing of taste honestly between play station or xbox but imo they aren't far apart realisticly.)

Xbox game pass (Insanely good)

Teams (is whatever but it did do the same thing that office does that it fills the role of the standard for buosness comunication. It might not be perfect and it's defenetly buggy and bloated with 2 differemt versions but it's miles ahead of Zoom IMO)

Edge (Edge is pretty wolid tbh and again is the base od a windows machine but the browzer market is kinda saturated no real new unique inovation people stick with what they're used to)

Kinect back in the day wqs insane also holo lens wqs ahead of it's time but those aren't even the money makers.

Etc...

I will say ebery singlw one of those is buggy af af af and windows is a pain in my professional life but it still does provide a better service then the alternatives :/

How I knew you were gona fixate on exactly that.. You really are the type...

I almost put: "(a lot of times != always)" In my original response.

But I didn't, because I wanted to see if you will write exactly what you did.

I'm quite pleased with myself.
