I've seen that take somewhere too, and personally I don't think it holds water. I'm a mac/*nix user and the hardware is only part of that. not fucking using windows is a hell of a massive part of my choices. and there's basically nothing that they can do there to make a real dent

there's definitely a lot of people out there that have web-heavy/-only workflows and on paper that group could move over, but in reality fucking windows is still fucking windows and the related problems that have plagued it[0] for years won't just magically evaporate because of switching to a new arch

nevermind all the other crazy shit they've been pushing lately

[0] - think stuff like cruft buildup, spy-/track-/push-ware, etc etc

    Yeah, I’m a windows user and agree with you completely. People choose operating system, not battery life.

    I would love if they solved the problems that made windows on ARM not ready for prime time, even though I’m enough of a power user it will probably never be for me. But this is not the way.

    Part of this is still trying to make a combination full featured windows laptop that’s also a Chromebook equivalent that’s also a tablet that’s also a dessert topping, when those should be separate devices with different ecosystems. UWP Metro apps were tablet-first when they first launched, sucking on desktop. The tablet pushing in Windows 10 initially broke accessibility. 2-in-1 Surfaces are way too heavy to be good tablets, because they’re still full featured PCs.

    I do not want to mix this duck sauce with that chocolate bunny.
