Why didn’t you show the graph of Microsoft’s revenue as well. As a company they’ve grown and Windows is no longer their primary revenue source

Which version of FCPX are you using?

lmfao! So true!

Lily Thomlin had a joke about AT&T long ago when everyone had landlines b/c AT&T figured that cellphones would be a costly transition for them and they had no competition so why bother: _"We're AT&T. We don't care. We don't have to."_ As for MS not understanding the needs (or desires) of the customers? Oh they know damn well. _They just don't care. They don't have to. They're Microsoft._

You really thought the data mining was being used to improve the products? 🤣 It was for sales to marketers.

The overwhelming majority of Microsoft's revenue comes from the corporate sector. Server products, Cloud computing solutions, the Microsoft 365 ecosystem... so on and so forth. Let's say you purchase a new computer every five years. A Windows 11 Home license costs $139 to buy outright and is much cheaper (around $60) if it comes preinstalled with the PC you purchase from BestBuy or wherever. My organization spends around $139 on licensing per user every three months. That's just licensing for the 365 suite and we're a small-medium sized company. That number doesn't count any of the other sources of revenue that I've mentioned, either. When you put things into perspective, they understand the needs of their customers very well. It just so happens that if you're a personal Windows user, you're not really a customer, more like a cow to have your data mined and sold for ad revenue. I'm sorry to break the news to some people.

They don't use it...they sell it!

They saw how successful Android and iPhones were, and decided to try to force windows to become a mobile OS with Windows 8. It was just awful. And they didn't exactly admit they were wrong, they just slowly evolved their ham-fisted mobile UI to become more of a desktop UI.

still waiting for the day that a modern windows menu can outdo all the legacy windows 7 system utilities that are slowly getting replaced. Have they improved Regedit, Control Panel, "Advanced" Firewall, Network Adapter settings, Sound Control Panel etc. in Win11? They never did in Win10 and I haven't jumped to 11 yet. At this point I think they've just realized that its too much effort to change stuff that most users try not to touch anyways.

most of those are either the same or worse. control panel is missing options even from win10, regedit is the same, same to the firewall, network adapter settings is more confusing now, and sound control panel is probably the only part that's better, but that's because functionally it's the same but now actually blends with the rest of the OS@@mikkelens

I haven't upgraded a windows box in over 20 years - it's no more practical than to upgrade a Mac. Especially with Intel - every generation or at best every other generation they release a new socket. And memory standards. Thankfully PCI express slots are backwards compatible so you could preserve some value with video cards, but if you care enough about that sort of thing your going to be upgrading every four years at most anyway. It may be nice to have the option to upgrade, but really it's not that slam dunk advantage people seem to think it is. Also I find my Macs routinely last three to four times as long as my Windows boxes - more than evens out the cost differential. All while performing overall a heck of a lot more smoothly and reliably. Although Apple seems to be figuring out how to screw that up with each successive macOS release too. A pox on all their houses :p

I gave up using two new $3k Windows laptops last year (A Dell and a Lenovo), and now use a decent new $600 Chromebook for most of my work. The Chromebook with only 8GB of RAM does things as fast, even with hundreds of tabs open, than the 64GB Windows laptops, and does so silently! It has awesome memory management, although a 16GB model would allow me to expand my workflow with more apps open since 8GB is pushing it. The Windows machines are now collecting dust. My sole reason, besides the fan noise, is their convoluted non-working 'power-management" features that won't let you control the monitor off/on and sleep on/off states to your needs. I tried for two years, I even, multiple times, posted on forums and gave Microsoft feedback, to no avail. I've had to give up monitoring my security cams, but I needed a live view yesterday: so i turned on the Windows 11 laptop..and the monitor keeps shutting off after a minute, even though I set it to turn off after a few hours in power management ! And when you want the machine to sleep, it stays on. (e.g. I thought, since I can't monitor the cams due to monitor shutting off, at least let me put the puter to sleep so I can work on the Chromebook in quiet...so I clicked the "sleep" option...I even closed the lid...and it wouldn't sleep! Had to unplug it and then it slept, though at times even that doesn't work). Etc.. Shame on you Microsoft.

Win 7 had tracking ? Really ?

Thanks to Win 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 I've started on softly working my way into switching to Linux by installing Debian on my old gaming laptop, and it is hard. In Win XP and Win 7 shit just worked. In Linux you have to get very comfortable with the terminal and reading a ton of wiki manuals and guides, and watching youtube videos about how to do things. It feels like being back in the 90s and trying to get games, hardware, and drivers to work together, but you have to do it through the equivalent of a DOS prompt. I'm still working on making the move despite how hard it is because Microsoft and Windows is trash now, and I don't see it getting better unless they scrap everything and start over with making a proper successor to Win 7.

if you do, go with Linux Mint

​@@connivingkhajiit which is the best for former windows users and was what i wanted to get but i got ubuntu that is not great but imo better than windows but i still think of getting linux mint

I have done the switch to Linux (Linux Mint) a couple of years ago. It is trouble free, and if you come off Windows it is pretty intuitive. Just don't mess around deleting this or that in the file system (as Windows people tend to do) unless you really know what you are doing, or you may delete something essential. That was my leaning curve. Then get to know the system and how it works... then you won't make silly errors. It is easy and just works. But it is different. I keep my Windows for anything that I cannot do on LINUX.... but I haven't done that in months. There are 'work around's' for games, STEAM, Windows on Linux, Wine etc. Or do a VM inside linux... using any other O/S including any variety of Windows that you like. Or Dual Boot. You can use 'Terminal' on linux, or use GUI. Linux Mint has a good GUI and makes it all easy. Accessories like printers and other devices are plug and play, it just all seems to go. And if it doesn't work, the drivers are on-line, after you check out the Forum for advice.

Switched to Linux Mint just a couple days ago. Setup was a little annoying with my WiFi adapter, but it’s been smooth sailing ever since. I have yet to boot into Windows ever since, since all Windows really offers above Linux is multiplayer games that I don’t even play anymore. All the games I care about are still available on Linux, and most everything I do as a hobby like art is available too. I don’t see myself turning back anytime soon.

same. i don't mind AI, but i rather AI stay out of my computer. give support to AI, but don't integrated AI. and windows fucked themselves with AI integrated. windows 11 will be the last OS of windows i use.

Exactly. Not to mention The lack of system admin settings, the fact that you need internet and a windows account to even use it, etc. etc.

Windows Experience Index Score System in Windows 7 was actually good; it should be brought back to handle modern cpus and gpus

​@@ShiroColdkeyesTheHedgehogIt wasn't completely useless, but had its shortcomings. For instance, swapping an HDD for literally any SSD would max out your score for drive performance. Which isn't very accurate, as there are clear differences between SSDs. For instance a low-end SSD without DRAM vs some high(er)-end NVME drive.

the worst is that win aero continues to run in the background on the system. It was not eliminated, they just removed all transparency so that the "legacy" part of the system adapts more to the minimalist interface that they wanted to adopt in the visual Frankenstain of Windows 8 and then they never returned it to normal. all windows in non-windows store apps work under aero

Win 10 originally had "themes" which allowed to apply different looks to the OS, similar to what 7 introduced. Then they took that away, forced updates for the win. It was also afaik originally possible to rearrage windows of the same process in the taskbar, so you could for example have 2 Explorer windows open, and if the left window on the task bar was actually on the right monitor, you could go hover over the window group and then rearrange them in the taskbar so the window on the right monitor is also on the right side of the taskbar group. Can't do that either. In 7 it's possible with a 3rd party tool at least. Windows is to me just THE example for removing features that (a portion of) users actually liked. Like how since 7 the option was removed to set the power button to "Ask me" and you got a dialog for picking "Shutdown, Restart, Standby" etc. Last version that let you do that was XP. And with their forced updates and "we don't care about you" attitude, there's just no saving them anymore. Even if they might bring out 12 next year and claim that YOU get the control over updates again, how many of us would actually be able to verify that this is the case by digging through the binary of the damn thing? Given how often a megacorp says "A" and does "B", I wouldn't believe it for a second that the claim would be true and just expect some update "backdoor" being hidden that lets them force updates onto you whenever they feel like it.

Developers aren't ignoring Linux at all - as far as Mac goes, that's pretty much Apples choice by forcing development to happen on vastly overpriced hardware, with stupid programming languages that nobody uses, with releases through a terrible App store that you need to pay a license for. Not to mention the different keyboard layout and complete disregard for any type of backwards compatibility. And plenty more, really.

@@dubble you don't have to release apps on the app store though?

As a developer, windows actually gets ignored more than Mac and Linux. I'm not a windows user, but the people I work with are constantly frustrated with the lack of support for windows by cutting edge software

There also needs to be a decline in those hardware giants that keep price hiking (certain parts are really hiking prices)

Windows is not losing market share. This clown cherry picked fake US data from a very unreliable source. Also, globally Windows has around 77%-80% global market share.

@@Dark979Ichigo Not that Fedora doesn't work as well as any other distribution, but my advise to everyone moving away from Windows to Linux is to go for Linux Mint Cinnamon.

@@Dark979Ichigo Fedora is pretty good ^^ If you want to try, pop os (full name: Pop!_OS) is also great for windows users that want to switch to Linux. My main distro is Pop os with dual boot windows to play to video games and that's it, it works very well ^^

Don’t forget ads

They go out of their way to annoy their customers and pretend that they can't go elsewhere. They seem to be stuck in the 1990s by assuming that they still have a monopoly. They will never change...

" telemetry, data collection, " Which is funny to me because the same people who complain about this are daily using other OSes (forget social media platforms) that do the same thing. As a life-long Windows user who will never buy a Mac (especially with how anti-repair Apple's become), I agree though that they're focusing on the wrong things. There are core parts of the OS that are still very dated and frustrating (the audio and video subsystems for one) and rather than focusing on that, they're focusing on UI changes no one asked for and pre-installing 17 apps I have to remove every time I setup a new machine.

Customers don't really care about telemetry, otherwise they wouldn't switch to Apple or chromeos lol

the biggest reason are that they did a lot of brain dead decision, something like releasing windows 11 and treating windows 10 like a third class citizen. they even announce to kill windows 11 and replace it with 12. they did fear mongering and harrassing their biggest userbase which is windows 10 users, which a completely fine and good OS. no wonder they switch, if they didn't feel like upgrading to windows 11, then they just switch to MacOS, they didn't give those Windows 10 users a choice to stick around with their OS what they don't know is that, people stick with the OS no matter what OS is more important than forcing people to upgrade to the latest OS, because they would rather switch OS than Upgrading their existing OS.

For example when asked what vitamins one should take to prevent shortages during the winter months it went straight to trying to sell me supplements. Instead of answering the question...is that really what people want? A new way to be monetized by Microsofts ad-sales machine?

It's the only reason I'm still using Windows for sure.

A lot of it is also creative applications. While creative apps on Linux are fantastic no doubt, a lot of companies require employees to use Adobe Illustrator instead of Inkscape, Maya instead of Blender or Unity instead of Godot for no real reason. While there’s usually ways to run them on Linux, a lot of the time just using Windows is easier for a lot of people. Hopefully in time companies will start to see that open-source projects are really the only way to get guaranteed long-term solutions.

That is changing fast. I'm on linux since over 2 years and theres only 1 or 2 games that don't work completly. I'm sure it's not completly there and i just have a coincidentally good selection of games that work on linux, but compared to about 12 years ago when I first tried to switch over to linux (where almost nothing worked, and if it did, very slowly ), it has come a very long way. In my opinion, the thing that keeps windows alive, is the same why they got big in the first place. It's installed by default on almost every machine you buy and no one, except tech enthusiasts, know how to install anything else on a pc.

That's the only reason I had a gaming PC. Maybe the Steam Deck will expand and have default compatibility in the future (much like Apple's Rosetta Stone 2 with Intel programs) so I can dump that gaming PC for good.

Games are like the big reason people use Windows. A lot of people who use Adobe Creative Cloud apps and/or DAWs like Ableton Live use macOS. I left out apps like Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro because those are macOS and iPadOS exclusive. I am currently taking a break from macOS because I am waiting to upgrade to perhaps a beefy 16-inch MacBook Pro, so for now I am using Linux for my daily tasks.

i somehow still dont have these problems, and linux is still far too unstable for me to use, i change one settings it doesnt boot the next time i turn it on

Sorry that you had problems with using Linux. Which distro you use with which computer makes a big impact on stability. Maybe you can find a different distro that works better for you and it will be more stable. Remember that GNU and Linux are built by volunteers, not a company, and not every distro is the same, so you can't expect stuff to work the same on Ubuntu vs Debian vs Arch vs Manjaro.

If games natively played in Linux I would have switched years ago

Linux is getting there. Steam Deck works incredibly well, but when I tried Kubuntu and Proton on my laptop, I've run into various issues, most likely due to Nvidia drivers being a mess on Linux.

they killed skype proper and real.. They were unable to offer the same quality of service with their own software so they bought out skype (if you cant beat it, kill it) and copied every line of code from it and used in their own worse solution.. until skype was a empty egg shell.. At that point they added it to windows 10 as a "default voip and video call app".. (app? its a pc and its called a program but back to the subject) but it was in general a empty shell that they used as a advertise platform..

Microsoft has owned Skype for the last 15 years. Big surprise they ruined it too.

Linux' problem is not the kernel, it's good enough, even more than required for consumers. The problem is everything else including the lack of a couple of really big companies or whatever that could focus a lot of resources on consumer oriented OSes and software for them. Now we have "over 9000" distros and the most important ones are either made by community or focused on servers and enterprise. Open Source stuff is good, but it's not the answer to Mac OS or Windows, that's why we are almost there at those 2-3% for many years. In theory Google could have been the 3rd big company with their own serious OS (hopefully based on Linux), but we have ChromeOS and Android from them that are focused on different environments.

​@@GadottinhoProton moment

@@Gadottinho what are the software that are holding you back?

iPads pretty much have a monopoly. Whenever Apple has a good device like the iPad, they do a lot to keep it ahead instead of getting lazy. It’d be a good thing although I like Linux.

Linux on the desktop is never going to be mainstream. It's biggest strength is also its biggest weakness in this regard. There won't ever be a single distro of it that takes over, because the point of it is that you customise it to how you need it, which makes it more work for developers to support it. This is why it's so great at the behind the scenes stuff that runs everything, but less so for your every day computer user. It needs big backing and a primary distro for it to really win here.

​@@TalesOfWar I don't see what's so hard for devs. Just make a Flat pak. And make sure their games work through Proton. Simple. And I could care less about mainstream anything. If MS isn't the only option to do something, I'm fine with that. And MS is quickly losing ground when it come to PC gaming with their updates messing everything up; with Valve making gaming on Linux more than viable. I'm quite happy to be gaming on Linux today.

I am constantly reevaluating my addiction to some windows programs, especially now that web based office is not too bad. I'd switch to linux, however it is still too easy to break and not as user friendly. Like 20 years ago, I'm still having ridiculous problems with linux, that then require a lot of googling and competence to solve. For example: plug in mouse, move it forward, cursor goes left. Linux is great when it works and I do use it for servers etc, but on desktop it's still pain. Sadly, as I do hate all the closed source, cloud-based nonsense.

@@dreaper5813 So your solution to a platform not being beholden to a single distro is to basically target a single distro? As I said in another comment, this is both the strongest and weakest aspect of Linux. This is also why Windows is the dominent platform outside of the consoles. It's a single target to aim for.

I contend that Windows XP was even better than Windows 7

@@danielklopp7007 I liked XP more, but I think that's just me wearing nostalgia glasses. That said, they were both amazing.

@@DefaultFlameI'd argue that XP was bad on release, it wasn't until the first service pack that it became decent, and not until SP2 that it was great. After SP2, it was the best until Windows 7 came along, although I'd say 7 was only marginally better than XP. In fact, that was Microsoft's frustration in that people were not seeing a reason to upgrade from XP until they ended support in 2014 and had to put an update that put an obnoxious non-modal dialog box telling you to upgrade because support had ended. I've noticed they did NOT repeat that with Win7, but used other more subtle means such as deliberately making programs like Microsoft Teams and Office 2016 incompatible with Win7.

Let me humbly introduce Windows Ghost Spectre.

the truth is that they don't just *not* have a powerful enough corporation to market it aggressively, Linux distros are also inherently community projects, even if sponsored by individuals or organizations, which has serious implications about its target users and platforms. Something like Linux Mint may work great in a certain solved capacity, but if anything breaks, because computers do, not just on windows, there is not a support line to call. It will never be preinstalled on mainstream computers unless some mega-corp finds a way to fork/use it for other means, like a chromium/android situation. I'm definitely going to be using Linux more myself (currently experimenting with WSL, learning computer science/engineering etc.), but I am not the standard user Microsoft or Apple is interested in capturing.

When system76 gets the cosmic de out i'm switching. Whenever that is.

The only sin of linux is that it doesn't have much support for video games or popular applications/programs. For this reason many community projects were created years ago precisely to have alternatives, but the lack of money slows things down and the lack of users has an impact. The right thing to do would be to educate younger generations to learn with linux, this leads to more developers creating content for linux and that makes it more competitive in the long run against the corporate OS.

linux is the opposite of "it just works", so is windows and android, that's undeniable

Linux distros have a serious problem with creating shared binaries that run on every Linux OS, so I wouldn't hold my breath. For wherever Windows goes wrong, it's the only platform that enables wide compatibility across devices and backwards and forward compatibility. Outside of few changes over the last years, nearly any 32 bit application built for Windows XP still works these days. Any application built these days will probably still work in 20 years. And all that with battletested tooling to consistently target the same libraries or create entirely static binaries. Apple's apparent aim to kill backwards and forward compatibility just about every year makes it a terrible OS to target (amongst the requirement to use their hardware, crappy programming language and pay licensing fees) and Linux has a very big problem with consistent tooling. There's half a dozen libc implementations with the most prominent one largely crippling static compilation, so when you do see applications directly distributed for linux you typically see a dozen different versions out of which you have to pick the correct one. As far as open source goes, there's a ridiculous community effort of recompiling and packaging up everything for specific package managers or repos.

Valve is the one pushing those crap game publishers to stop denying support for Proton on Linux. Any game companies (particularly with online games) that refuse support Proton on Linux can take a hike as far as I am concerned.

Yes, this. My question on response to the video's title was, "Why should we save Windows?" I've just made the switch to Linux and while there have been a couple of minor hiccups, the overall experience is far better than on Windows. Some games even run better on Linux than Windows (notably Minecraft, which is hilarious when you consider who owns it...) I tried using Linux as my main OS a bit over a decade and a half ago but switched back mainly because of games. That, and most other reasons to stay on Windows, are no longer an issue. There's a bunch of usability stuff that's just better on Linux. It made me realise how much Microsoft haven't been designing to be good but to corral users into doing things the Microsoft way, some of which is actively hostile (like trying to switch browsers). I've find Linux refreshingly free of MS's BS. Grab a live installer and give it a try sometime. That's a pretty low-commitment way to give things a try, and you can shop around to find the distro and desktop that suits you.

@@bevanfindlay Linux sucks and isn't user friendly

Market share represents nothing to the common personal computer user because Linux is used by business machines like cash registers and ATMs. Not powerful workstations, who all use Windows and to a lesser extent MacOS.

Yeah, is a nice-looking OS a good trade-off for a bunch of features? I don't think so. I gave up on Windows as a whole but I'd rather use Windows 10 over 11 if I needed to use Windows.

Actually devices and printers is still in windows 11, but you have to access it through the settings app which is kind of annoying. I believe there is a registry tweak you can use to change it though.

Two things to fix Windows 11 (and even some 10 issues) - #1 is Chris Titus Tech's Toolbox. It'll rip out all that telemetry and has easier access to some older style settings. I paid $12 for an add-on (CHM Tech) which for 3 PCs, fixes the Win11 Tasks bar and other UI elements options. I am running a Win 11/Win Hybrid config. The windows with round corners and functions, but the Start Menu and Taskbar is Win7. When it comes to multi-monitor support, Win11 is better at it than Win10 and Win7. On my 2nd display, the only items that shows up on its task bar are 2nd display tasks. Main monitor has all of them, it works. I can make my Start Menu function like Win98. But I prefer WIn 7.

The Devs of certain Linux distros still have to do more to cater Windows user to have an even easier experience switching from Windows to Linux. (=all the non-techie people that are not willing to play around with terminal and such) If more people switch and Linux gets a proper market share - we will see more native Linux apps.

linux have evolved into a better and stronger operating system. Without adding bloat or other junk.

Which linux is good...

Fedora is the best. Then once you're good with containers move to Fedora Silverblue toolboxes and distroboxes are the best.

There is a real alternative, but people are lazy and don’t want to learn. If the entire world used Linux instead of windows, people would say when trying to switch that windows is confusing, bloated, and frustrating. Seriously, Linux mint, or Ubuntu desktop. Those are perfectly usable for a vast majority of all people, even if you don’t know a single thing about command line. “My apps don’t run on Linux!” First off, chances are if you don’t mind learning a bit more, you can get it running using WINE. Secondly I guarantee there are alternatives that work just as well. Maybe you need a program for work and it absolutely won’t work on Linux, fine. But for a vast majority of people, that isn’t the case. If you want your favorite apps to be supported on Linux based operating systems, USE LINUX BASED OPERATING SYSTEMS. There are real alternatives, several of them. In fact I guarantee there is one just for you too. I mean, we call them distributions, but point being they’re out there. Everyone is just too lazy to modify their thinking a bit. I had friends switch to Linux mint, they have not once ever needed to use the command line. If you want a bit more compatibility, Ubuntu Desktop is incredible, you may have to use the command line once or twice in your time running the OS, but most of the time you are golden.

The thing is, adopting Linux would probably just mean adopting distributions like ubuntu or fedora which could become a problem if the companies behind decide some wild stuff like implementing telemetry

In my opinion it's the other way around. Fragmentation is a good thing, it prevents forcing dumb design decisions on the users through the power of sheer monopoly like Microsoft and Canonical constantly try to do. And on top of that it allows to tailor the system for specific needs of specific people. The only issue is resulting chaos, but it's more due to lack of basic knowledge about Linux distros among common people. Most of them consider distros a totally separate systems that don't have anything in common but it's just plain wrong misconception born due to exposure only to Windows and Apple systems. I think that with Linux gaining popularity more people would be accustomed to how things on the Linux side works.

probably make support for it easier but that costs ppl time and money so chances are they wanna implement more Telemetry into the system.

That is simply not true. You definitely can and do run AI models locally, and chip makers (includes Apple and Intel, but also AMD, Qualcomm, ARM as a whole, etc.) are building capabilities so that running locally is not only viable but desirable, which basically means highers throughput but mostly lower prediction latency. This hardware that they are building into chips has two benefits: predicting locally is always going to be faster than a roundtrip via the web and your data never leaves your computer. Also, companies don't need "ALL input data" for training as you claim. They don't actually need any of it. For one thing, your input data is what's called unlabeled, so it isn't useful for training. Training datasets are carefully prepared. It's not "just throw everything at it and go". And also there are regulations nowadays in a lot of parts of the world regarding data collection and privacy: GDPR in Europe, LGPD in Brazil, DPDP in India, and other equivalent.

If running AI models locally ever becomes common, it certainly won't be thanks to Microsoft. They very obviously want your data, and are determined to force you to stay online as much as possible. To them running AI models locally is another threat to be squashed, not a feature to be embraced.
