      We’d get to watch Microsoft somehow destroy it, which would be as amazing as it would be awful. They really know how to make a great product terrible.

      Though, who am I kidding, they’d just close the entire thing down and expect people to switch to their store. That’s all capitalism’s “competition” is good for these days.

          Let’s hope for a future where SteamOS ushers in the Year of the Linux Desktop and SteamOS replaced Windows everywhere.

          Ah, I misread(the y in “they” is missing and I got thrown off haha)

          Dude that would be funny as hell and Microsoft fucking deserves it. They don’t make a single quality product; all they seem to be able to do is reskin a ‘90s Windows OS as a worse product for ten thousandth time and close competitors so they don’t need to do any real work.

      Microsoft sits on an incredible amount of cash. I’ve read that they could do nothing for a ridiculous time period like 50 or 100 years and still not go bankrupt.

        Considering what an awful job they do with everything they touch maybe we should just can the whole company and give that back to the people of the world who’ve needed to suffer under their bullshit for far too long.

        They can keep some money for Excel, I guess.
