Their OS is pretty unsuitable for server tasks[1], and they've abandoned most of their server tools, so I think they don't care about that market anymore.

I don't think their OS would be popular in the server space. But you could run Linux on their chips - if they decided to support that.

The OS is not exactly unstable but increasingly worthless for my desktop work. The spinning beachball of death sucks.
