Microsoft is losing Builders fast. They’re switching to MacOS and Linux. The biggest pull keeping people on Windows, outside of shear inertia, is content creation and gaming. However, even these are falling to Linux.
Without Builders, you don’t have software, and without software, you don’t have users. This is why Microsoft needs Windows Lite.
Hah! They don’t care about “builders” or users. They care about business. Specifically large enterprises the have too many people to care about a single employee’s individual productivity.
Microsoft caters mostly to them and is quite good at that.
But if you’re an end user, gamer, or individual consumer, just move to Linux already. They don’t care about you.
