The problem is that the Windows monopoly isn't worth having any more and Microsoft is flailing in trying to make it worth it.

Microsoft can't force an app store like Apple and Google can for iOS and Android. No one is going to buy an OS subscription like they do for Office 365. And, I'm sure that Microsoft earns almost nothing on new installs because of how cheap hardware has gotten.

    Eh. I feel like desktops are going to go the way of Steam Decks and Chromebooks for consumers. While Microsoft can't force an app store, other companies/OS's can.

    For corporate users, I can see a corporate Windows/Office tech stack form, with corporations paying for support per user like current companies pay for Windows & Office 365.
