I find it hard to believe that, outside of work computers, many people would be choosing Windows over Mac or Linux, especially is AI is their goal.

I'm also curious why the comments are turned off for this article unless it is a paid ad for Microsoft.

Windows beats Mac on price.
Windows beats Linux on compatability.

Really all there is to it.

If you want to spend 3x the money, get a Mac.

If you're comfortable dealing with software incompatibility, install Linux.

My MacBook Air is 9 years old and still running strong. I’ve more than gotten my moneys worth out of it.

Unless your laptop isn't brand new, at which point Linux absolutely beats Windows on compatibility.

... Thats someone having a problem with being given an incorrect certificate for a website because their ISP was blocking the website they were trying to access. Even though its on a linux support forum its neither a linux nor firefox issue.
