Thread the needle

I am sure they will start tightening screws on Linux one day too...

These can't help themselves if they got market power.

I wonder if this is due to antitrust law reasons. Already low Linux market share + secure boot having made installation even harder does not set a good precedent for Microsoft.

Just make sure you host every thing you develop on azure and we gucci! Oh and get Office 365!

This is a long time coming TBH. It hasn't made sense for at least 10-15 years for Microsoft to still be trying to "win" against Linux. To me when I see it it seems weird. It's like your old grandpa who still talks about the "japs" when he sees someone driving a Toyota.

Linux runs most of the smartphones in the world, and a BSD fork runs the rest. It's done. No one is going to deploy Windows Server 2023 edition to run their web services unless something's gone pretty badly wrong. We're all focused on AI and cloud computing now, and have been for some time.

The most critical thing a business can do to remain successful is recognize and adapt to the new reality.
