Windows is now less than 10% of their revenue, last I saw. I think Windows is more valuable to keep people in the Microsoft ecosystem, than as a source of direct revenue.

Do they make more money from OEM licenses, or from bombarding Windows users with OneDrive and Copilot 365 advertisements?

What if it's actually the AI-derived "user profile," sold to advertisers/govts, after their mandatory bot scans all your drive.

Just hypothetically... of course they're not actually doing this?

Anywho, doesn't matter cause my Xeon went from Windows 10 to Linux, this year. Still rocking a Win7Pro Core2Duo (as my second favorite machine).

Perhaps Microsoft plans to bundle Windows into its "Microsoft 365" subscription for the consumer market.

won't someone think of the shareholders?
