Microsoft is losing Builders fast. They're switching to MacOS and Linux. The biggest pull keeping people on Windows, outside of shear inertia, is content creation and gaming. However, even these are falling to Linux.

Without Builders, you don't have software, and without software, you don't have users. This is why Microsoft needs Windows Lite.

Shilly because im not jumping on the baseless criticism train? Seeing linux users act this way makes me embarrassed to be one. To talk so much shit about teams and office being full of issues and hard to maintain is just delusion. If that standard was ever applied to us we'd be cooked.

No. Because your environment is either small or you're just being disingenuous. MS bootlickers only look worse over time as Microsoft continues to enshittify even traditionally very stable programs.
