Apple MacBook Neo makes Microsoft nervous: Paid study shows Windows laptops to be superior

[Redaktion]

The Apple MacBook Neo is apparently making Microsoft nervous, because the Windows manufacturer has now paid for a study to "prove" that Windows laptops are both better and cheaper. The results are as revealing as they are misleading.

Added together with Google's moves to beef up Chromebooks and Microsoft's recent mea culpa on Windows 11, you can see clearly now that MS has stumbled and finally realize it. They can't treat an OS like simply as a statement of shareholder preferences. There are users and businesses involved, entire industries.

I can scarcely recall a time when they've been more complacent and incompetent, removing features and still not able to achieve stability, predictability and business goals. The moves in their xbox division, where they have actual direct competition, is pretty telling. They're flailing to the point that Valve is starting to take Windows users away. Windows itself is frozen in amber and their own Azure division deploys everything on Linux (clouds use containers mostly) because that's the industry standard. They've given up and Windows Server will be in managed decline now.
