The won't kill Windows until there is some alternative for consuments and no, Linux ain't it...mostly because there is still a big faith in common folk that Linux is some arcane tech. Which is pretty much proven in their opion when they try to use it, cause they try to use it like Windows.

And no, Lemmings don't count, most of us have some kind of dev experience, be it professional or hobbyist.

I disagree that Linux isn't an alternative but even if it wasn't, MacOS is.

Seems like Microsoft doesn't mind having their userbase reduce another 20% and giving it to their main competitor.

Maybe this time they'll change their ways.

Ugh at work I was forced to use MacOS and i find i3 + arch way more intuitive than that.

Very nice eye candy but every keyboard shortcut is stupid on MacOS, productivity is ruined

Also window tiling is stupid too on MacOS

I understand, but my point is that MacOS is more than serviceable as a work-focused operating system. It is more than capable to replace Windows as long as you're willing to accept a different work flow.

If you're already on Linux then great, stay there. But the average consumer wants something easier to use, and MacOS is easy. More importantly, it doesn't treat you like garbage like Windows does.

Speaking of, this video came to mind.
