No wars. Just peace.

Get rid of all lock in or network affect. In investing it might be called moat. Looking to destroy like Facebook. Very hard to compete due to they have all the users. You can't just choose your chat app, you also be on the same network as your friends. Decouple those two. Another example is YouTube. They are the biggest video provider and thus will reach most users. Decouple those two again. I can continue with Microsoft apps, Netflix videos, Google search and ads etc.

Without possibilities for real competition, you dont get innovation.

Resource centers. Makes sure the planets resources is not abused. Here is also the place for actually give back your used stuff, for reuse.

You can use YouTube with another Frontend. See it as YouTube only hosts the videos.

Personally I have a problem leaving YouTube due to I need to be logged in to get their recommended videos based on my profile.I don't think anybody else can do that.

If the government did it - I would be very angry. Do you know how much internet help with democracy in the world? Think of it as shutting down all libraries with books, and forbidde any kind of communication.

It would of course try to setup some communication and gather people. I currently only have one irc server. I guess people want something webbased as they probably don't have the client software.

I would probably lose my job as well as it is a software as a service company that require internet to function.

Good. This means competition as there is no clear winner.

I actually like that app. But can't use it reliable now since they gave it up. Welcome EMClient and Thunderbird.

That will put sticks in the development. A lot of people think like you say.

I think many is afraid. It is unknown OS. No one likes change. Many thinks IT is hard. especially elder people. However:

• There is to few places to even buy a computer with Linux on it.
• No ads on TV or similar, nowhere to test, not a single .exe file to run and test it out
• Works differently - need to relearn.

A kid does not have any problem with the above. This is why Steam Deck is selling. It is just fun to test something new with your friends and see what all the buttons do. Seen as cool. Any guess where this is going when they get adult?

It works for a while but they will lose market share over time. The home users are mostly not locked in to anything. It is just them that might use their pc at home for work(they should use their work laptop for that). Nowadays most things are webbased. Console/Steamdeck/Android/Chromebooks exists. Microsoft even made Visual Studio Code for any OS so coders can use any OS. The need for Windows is shrinking as people development alternative software for other platforms. It just take time.

Almost. Look at spaceX and their Rockets.

I am just saying that they are allowed make very heavy impact to the climate compared a normal person. Just take their jet plan or helicopter wherever they go is allowed.

Is there any reason why they should keep more money than they ever can spend?

And at what cost to the climate/resources did they get this rich? Compare that to what they have done for the climate/resource.

I am just against what they are allowed to do with this money. How many airplanes full with fules can they blow up just for fun? Want to find fastest way to blow it up. Is it fair that they can ignore the climate impact completely? Just do what ever bad stuff they want to.

Right, so lets shutdown Windows as it does not bring in enough money.

I don't think that would be a good idea, to let it rot away. It is a business that brings in money after all, and it keeps the users using Microsoft office(Office 365) and all their products. They need to keep it alive.

I meant - privacy mode just means answer no tracking on all the questions. Yes, they will still turn those back on when the next Windows update happen, but that is beside the point.

You are right, most don't need it. Yet they still have the wizard guide, and with several new GUI questions implemented. So they are maintaining the setup wizard - just does not want to improve it. I am sure Microsoft have the money to improve on it and make more users happy(read not leaving Windows).

Windows have come to a point where they don't need to improve much more. So they only focus on the stuff that might bring in extra money instead(ads and data harvesting). This will be their downfall if it does not align with what the users want. It will be interesting to see how the deal with ARM - problem to bring legacy programs. Yes, one day we will move to ARM on all new computers as they are just so much better. A good opportunity to rethink a lot and for Microsoft lose its big walls around Windows. Easier for competitors to come in.

Linux have also improved due to users always want a friendly GUI. And the users have more power to actually make a difference due to the nature of being open source. Automated installs here are still needed. A few sell OEM with Linux.

Just look at Apple, how big market share they have despite Microsoft have existed for so many years. 15% https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide The competition have started.

They differ a lot. I don't understand why Microsoft does not want to improve on this situation. At minimum take all questions at once, or collect answers from existing installation. Maybe have some profiles of answers like wipe disk and privacy mode.

They don't know. For computers it is easy, but for Phones - this is really hard. But be glad that the masses don't know about it. They actually watch all ads and bring in the money, so us educated can leech with no ads.

This is a setting in Excel. But Cloud is the default option.

Just call it Script.
