I've neutered my win 10 updates so they don't work and I've got Linux on two laptops out of 3 now. Going to move my server over soon, then eventually my desktop and the final laptop. Peacing out of the ms ecosystem

I wonder if there's any correlation with AI killing the office job market.
Most excellent news!
I’m thinking they’re doing it on purpose. Think you’re a multibazillion company, want to quit your least profitable line of work (OS business) but it’s also your most famous front. Diluting a business is how you quit without scaring investors.
People will keep breaking their arms stroking their own selves, instead of thinkinig rationally.
Sigh...
I wonder how cloud accessibility plays into this. In the past if I had a dedicated windows app I might typically have maybe a hundred windows desktops accessing onsite servers. Nowadays I can replace that with thin clients and cloud based RDSH servers.
Outside of the biz world, people aren't buying as many devices that would use the os. Or not replacing the ones they had that can't upgrade?
