    Makes sense, the line must go up at all cost. This years profit has to be way way way WAY bigger than last years, otherwise what is even the point of running a multi trillion dollar business.

      Yes, sadly. Microsoft made 193 billion dollars in profit in 2025, and has only made $225 billion dollars in profit this year. The investors are basically starving to death

      I believe they knew they’re losing the pc market. They dismantled windows team like 6 months ago.

        Maybe the home PC market, but they havent cared about that segment in a long time.

              Very good. If it all goes up in flames nobody will have a copy and nothing of value will be lost.

        Possibly because AI scam is moving into the consolidation phase where a handful of large companies will own it all and they don’t really have to market any more
