Meanwhile, Windows requires you to buy a new license if you change your mouse.

I trust my mobile device much less than my desktop.
I’m with you. Phones are toys, a PC with disk encryption and well chosen software it way more trustworthy.
PC gaming has been a thing since PCs began. Good devs will make good games, shit devs will make a 14th version of CoD. There is no vendor lock-in, no platform restrictions, compile your game and ship it. If it’s good people will buy it.
edit: a letter
I have a 30km commute of mostly 50-70km/h roads.
edit: 7.8L/100km on the last fill
I have one of those 2 seater pickups from 2010. Best vehicle ever, 7-8L/100km and the same size box as the whale behind it.
You can literally kill off anything in windows, albeit with some effort in certain cases. Right down to their telemetry services everyone hates.
For now. The only reason Microsoft doesn’t prevent you from removing or disabling components of Windows is that it is still an extreme edge case. Only a very small fraction of users actually take part in that kind of activity, if it were to become more popular Microsoft will start baking it in harder.
Comparing it to a locked down OS with a cloud service tie in I’d like comparing oranges to cars.
Windows is already headed down the road of locked down cloud dependency, and minimum specs are a user problem. Remember the thing with TPMs and W11?
What are they going to do, hide gigabytes of video from you just to waste space?
Have you looked at how much space Windows already takes up on your disk?
Will that be an option? We found out this week that “deleting” photos from your iPhone only makes them inaccessible to YOU, they live forever on Apple’s servers. Why would MS operate any differently?
No, corporate buyers and lack of regulation is pricing out first time buyers.
Have you seen dufs? A single executable that runs a webserver hosting a super simple file upload/download app. It’s really convenient for sharing files with normies with iPhone and Windows devices.
Nothing will ever be as accurate as a 1:1 pointing device. Using a thumbstick sucks ass for general mouse-work why would it be suddenly good for FPS games? Thumbsticks are best at racing, platforming, flight sims, maybe RPGs and scrollers.
Right tool for the job.
