Writing is on the wall. Xbox and Windows made money, but a fraction of what Office and enterprise services made.
That is how it has been for a long time at Microsoft. They know Enterprise is where the money is, it hasn't stopped them from trying to venture out into other areas tho.
They stopped venturing a long time ago. Microsoft should’ve been split up. Then maybe some of their consumer products would’ve survived and thrived. Even Windows OS seems like an afterthought these days.
Wait until Windows SE (subscription edition) comes out and you have to pay for it monthly.. that'll get those numbers up!
Vertical integration. Windows underpins Office, and even cloud services.
Xbox though, they've already pretty much written its epitaph.
Isn't Linux mostly used for cloud services though?
Xbox is actively being dropped from Target and Walmart, but it doesn't help that the push is for digital games with no physical presence in stores.
Xbox should’ve been the prestige product for Microsoft (just like Logic/Final Cut for Apple) but Xbox itself depleted any prestige it ever accumulated over the last few years.
its like what AWS for amazon, its delivery/online market pale in comparison to thier licensing to the govt and other services.
