Windows would have beat MacOS only if Microsoft had just done one small, teeny-weeny thing - just left the OS alone after Win 10.

I haven't been able to stomach Windows since Vista, and I can barely stomach MacOS. Linux has spoiled me.

It depends on what you mean by "beat". Windows has a vastly larger market share than Apple ever has, or ever will.

Oh but they absolutely did beat MacOS. The amount of people who give a damn about UI polish, response times, etc. is insignificant to them.

They got away with pushing ads, online and enterprise services, Copilot, etc. to every desktop user.
