Interesting. Obviously Valve has them spooked. When was the last time MS came out with a product that at least made an appearance of caring about what users want?
Honestly if I was them I would be very worried. As people move away from the Microsoft ecosystem Microsoft slowly loses control of the market.
The Steamdeck is flying off the shelves. I hope that many other companies start going Linux outside of value as the more companies involved the less likely one will ruin everything.
Not even sure they care any more. They make so much money from corporate Office use and Azure that everything else could disappear tomorrow.
Half the world went from applications to web based stuff years ago. Them and Amazon are now running most of that, regardless of you using Windows or Linux.
The Windows ecosystem is an abominable pile of half-finished apps and dark patterns that should be slam dunked into the trash. The problem is in the leadership that is laser-focused on milking business users who are used to Microsoft’s abusive practices.

The funniest thing I notice is how IT departments have to enforce all kinds of group policies and custom scripts and things to crowbar Windows into shutting up and just being a work OS.
It’s just standard practice at this point to fight the thing into submission to get an install image that’s not nagging users or trying to upsell them on cloud nonsense and whatnot.
It would of been smart to redo the whole thing and start over after they said windows 10 would be the last windows…
Fuck compatibility and just start over with windows 2… Get rid of the bloat and crap… But yeah that would actually make more sense than making more profit…
I don’t know if this is hard to wrap your head around… So you take all of the windows versions that currently exist and that is version one… And you start over from scratch with a brand new version maybe I don’t know a version two?
Because they probably still have code from the original version of windows running…
The screenshot I showed you IS windows 2. Maybe you are a bit too daft or I was a bit too pedantic for your smooth brain. In any case you were extremely rude.
Good job reading… If you group all the current versions of windows together that would be windows version one… And then you start over in version two not worrying about compatibility issues… It’s not that hard to understand but I guess people don’t know how to read
Best estimate that I’ve been about to find on Steam Deck sales is somewhere between 4-6 million, which considering everything is astounding. I’m on my second Deck (upgraded to OLED).
I actually decided to sit out the Switch 2 launch because I’m so satisfied with the Deck (and a lack of groundbreaking Nintendo games at launch).

There is a reason Adobe software doesn’t have a Linux version
Affinity suite is dirt cheap and is a single purchase, none of that licensing crap.

I dunno about windows 2.

With absolutely no qualifications whatsoever I diagnose: defo a case of daft cunt syndrome

And you don’t know that it’s just plain wrong. But I guess it’s hard to use your brain.
Versions matter.
Windows 1, 2, 3/3.1/3.11, 95, 98
Those you could group together and call them 9x line
Windows NT, Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT4, Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11
Those you can also group together and call them NT Line.
Everything else is just wrong and you know it.
So… I would advise you to take the L and leave this thread alone.

Assuming you are right that’s about half of the total Wii U sales
Small compared to well known giants but this is really the first real successful console Value has launched
That’s the thing, it’s not an established console line
And also, half of Wii U sales is fucking massive. Yes the Wii U was considered a failure, but it was still well known
Is this really that though? They’ve called it an Xbox and it only runs PC games.
It’s not even their own hardware. Replacing Explorer.exe with a custom launcher is an absolute bare minimum effort.
That’s basically what the Xbox UI is. “Xbox” is short for “DirectX Box”.
You can even force a Xbox into CMD haha
