If it wouldn't look terrible to just dump Windows, I'm fairly sure they would do so soon if they hadn't already. ![]() Back to the server, and SQL Server runs on Linux these days or (even better for them) Azure-native. In homes and offices Windows is just a vehicle for Office and Visual Studio, they are pushing people more towards the online office variants of Office (users therefore becoming dependent on a subscription for access to apps and storage/backups). Azure is the new baby there – they don't care what server OS you run as long as you run it on their kit. Windows is not longer the cash-cow it once was even on the server. > but the failing culture within Microsoft is unable to recognise they are driving users off their own product. The Apple premium makes much less sense now, and I am not sure if I am gonna go with Apple for my next phone or computer purchase. So while I would be happy to spend an extra X$ for a "no ad" product compared to a "with ad" product, I wouldn't feel the same about a "low ad" product. So at least in my view, the gap between Apple and Microsoft in this regard is not "way ahead", it is "slightly ahead and getting closer". For me at least, it moves the service from the "no ad" category to the "with ad" category, and I hate the latter category. Just replace Apple and Microsoft with Netflix and imagine how we would feel if Netflix started showing some-not too many and not too outrageous-ads. The gap between "no ad" and "low ad" feels much bigger the gap between "low ad" and "more ad". I would love to be proven wrong, but I would also be surprised if I do.ģ. They have to show growth quarter after quarter, so in all likelihood, like we have seen with other companies, it's only gonna get worse. Microsoft didn't start with shameless ads, and I don't think Apple would stop at current ad levels. It worked for Apple I guess, but only in a shortsighted way.Ģ. Why is (or was?) not having iCloud set up showing up as a permanent notification badge over Settings? It was a while ago, but I remember I subscribed just to shut iOS up. Apple Ads are incessant about their own services. It is easy to use, comes with a simple interface and can sync your content with ease.> it sounds like Apple is still coming out way aheadġ.
