When AWS, Azure, or GCP Becomes the Competition

I am not. Microsoft was always a partner driven company. Most of their sales are through their partners, and they have learned to respect that.

They have also learned to build platform, unlike MacOS/Android, windows will never pull APIs out form under you.

And windows basically sucks, in no small part due to the historical baggage it must carry. That and it’s not nix

That's a very narrow view.

Supporting historical baggage is why a lot of business people trust Windows.

Eg. You can still run VB 6 applications :p

True, but an operating system should be a solid foundation to build on, not quicksand.

We now have a situation where a well designed and complete 5 year old application will arbitrarily stop working because someone made an 'improvement' to the OS.
