When are microslop gonna learn that all they have to do is make a good product?
Funny. Their strategy seems to make them plenty of money.
When people and businesses stop buying their products
I dunno. That keeps happening and they seem to keep doubling down.
Their strategy since the 80s has been to half-ass shit and sell it to large scale businesses, establish their software as the default software across industries, so then everyone else has to learn and buy it.
Literally started with MS DOS. Then Windows, Internet Explorer, Office, and lots of small stuff. They kill entire industries that were making better software. None of the above 4 things were Microsoft even close to better than preexisting software. People were swearing off DOS and Windows 3x when they crashed constantly in the early 90s and late-stage capitalism said "hold my beer" and made them the most valuable company in history within a decade.
