    Imma disagree since they’re part of that top 3 shuffle for most valuable companies on the planet BUT I still don’t like them lol I did try the windows phone though when those were a thing. It was solid but lacked app support so I caved before the 30 day period and returned it.

      I don’t know. Them being successful to me sounds like saying kidnappers can get girls. Might technically be true, but misleading. Microsoft managed to kidnap the modern economy by having had a good product previously. If we were to reset things, nobody in their right mind would go with any of the modern Microsoft products. They’re all objectively worse than their counterparts. But due to economic reasons and probably something to do with Stockholm syndrome and laziness, people are trapped in the Microsoft ecosystem.

        You call it kidnapping but they’ve just done a good job at making partners and compatible software for 30+ years. That didn’t happen over night and that success wasn’t handed to them. Again, I’m not a fan of theirs and I boot into Linux whenever my day allows for it but it sounds like you’re putting your personal taste before logic.

          Yeah, like I said, they did a great job. 10-30 years ago. Not anymore. Just because something was true in the past doesn’t mean it’s still true now.
