It’s not like cutting other products will make the core offerings better. I’m sure they could double the Windows 11 team size and the start menu search would still take 10+ seconds to find the app I’m searching for. At least mixed reality was interesting.



Dear Lord, do not tempt them to increase the size of the Windows team, they might find more places to shove all the stupid ads in that OS.


That's because Windows is far from being their core offering.

Office is where the money is for Microsoft.


Azure is where the money is now.


It would be a dream if they would sell Windows to a non publicly traded company "to concentrate on their core competence".


They wouldn't do that. Windows Server is an integral part of Azure, running on every machine that hosts VMs.
