I don't like this. Bad user experience with AI and general enshitification of Windows was the push that many people needed to at least try Linux, and for companies to take Linux a bit more serious as the desktop platform.
I would also cheer on Microsoft to accelerate Windows into an immovable object.
Can they go back and restart from Windows 7?
I think the more important platform is Laptop right now. Linux on laptops has battery life issues because unfortunately modern/hardware software makes it so "good battery life" is a knifes edge configuration.
