    Microsoft doesn’t actually care because most of their revenue is from corporate environments tied to the OS and their cloud offerings. Everyday users are nothing to them, which is why they don’t try harder to keep you from using unactivated copies of windows. You are nothing

      Right up until these new Linux users start demanding linux at work as well. And IT folk will be more then happy to supply them.

      No I truly think Microsoft is slowly losing the OS market.

      Let me put it this way: if you had to start fresh. New company. Would you default to using windows? The fact that many are hesitant after that question, shows you Microsoft is losing.

        The IT folk doesn’t have any power in big companies. They get told what to install by higher management. And higher management usually knows fuckall about computers but does listen to consultants and fancy buzzwords which is something Microsoft is insanely good at.
