I'm so confused by what they think using copilot to either find/build an emulator for a 50 year old machine that can run Basic demonstrates.

Utterly broken - perhaps, but apparently that's not exclusive with being highly profitable, so why should they care?

When I first typed up my comment I said "their current business approach" and then corrected it to technical since - yea, in the short term it probably isn't hurting their pocket books too much. The issue is that it seems like a lot more folks are seriously considering switching off Windows - we'll see if this actually is the year of the linux desktop (it never seems to be in the end) but it certainly seems to be souring their brand reputation in a major way.

For the time being. Does anyone want Windows 11 for real?

The inertia is not permanent.

Cause it's finally the year of Linux on desktop.

CoPilot has done more for Linux than anyone expected. I switched. I'm switching my elderly parents away next before they fall victim.
