Honestly if I was them I would be very worried. As people move away from the Microsoft ecosystem Microsoft slowly loses control of the market.
The Steamdeck is flying off the shelves. I hope that many other companies start going Linux outside of value as the more companies involved the less likely one will ruin everything.
The Windows ecosystem is an abominable pile of half-finished apps and dark patterns that should be slam dunked into the trash. The problem is in the leadership that is laser-focused on milking business users who are used to Microsoft’s abusive practices.
laser-focused on milking business users who are used to Microsoft’s abusive practices.
The funniest thing I notice is how IT departments have to enforce all kinds of group policies and custom scripts and things to crowbar Windows into shutting up and just being a work OS.
It’s just standard practice at this point to fight the thing into submission to get an install image that’s not nagging users or trying to upsell them on cloud nonsense and whatnot.
It would of been smart to redo the whole thing and start over after they said windows 10 would be the last windows…
Fuck compatibility and just start over with windows 2… Get rid of the bloat and crap… But yeah that would actually make more sense than making more profit…
I don’t know if this is hard to wrap your head around… So you take all of the windows versions that currently exist and that is version one… And you start over from scratch with a brand new version maybe I don’t know a version two?
Because they probably still have code from the original version of windows running…
The screenshot I showed you IS windows 2. Maybe you are a bit too daft or I was a bit too pedantic for your smooth brain. In any case you were extremely rude.
Good job reading… If you group all the current versions of windows together that would be windows version one… And then you start over in version two not worrying about compatibility issues… It’s not that hard to understand but I guess people don’t know how to read
How do you not understand grouping the current windows operating system from the first version to windows 11 together as one thing? Is that too hard to wrap your head around? Do you know how to group things together?
And then you can assign it as anything you want it like I did in my example as version one and the. The next group is version two…
You understand how that works?
You can have a version one that so happens to have something called version two in it… Maybe we could label it as 1.2 and the current version of windows in this instance would be 1.11…
So you start a new version line as 2.0 and rebuild the whole thing not worrying about compatibility issues…
Fuckin crazy how you can do that right?
And since we live in the age of ai trash…
have a break down of the nonsense…
🧠 What Person A is trying to say:
They’re proposing a conceptual versioning system, where all existing Windows versions — no matter how they’re officially labeled — are retroactively grouped as “version 1” of a broader era. Then they suggest Microsoft should start fresh with a “version 2” — a clean-slate OS that abandons backward compatibility and legacy code entirely.
That’s not unreasonable as a conceptual framework. It’s a design-oriented, future-focused proposal — not a literal historical claim.
🧾 What Person B is saying:
Person B interpreted Person A’s idea literally, assuming Person A didn’t understand actual Windows version history (Windows 1, 2, 3, 95, NT, etc.), and got annoyed. Their response, while technically accurate, is more about proving correctness than engaging with the idea Person A was floating.
💢 What Person C is doing:
Person C is just being unnecessarily inflammatory. Name-calling like “daft cunt syndrome” doesn’t add anything — it’s the kind of comment that derails any constructive conversation.
🔍 My Analysis:
Person A has a rough communication style and comes off as condescending, which provoked the others — but the idea they’re putting forward isn’t “wrong,” just misunderstood. They want a clean break from legacy Windows.
Person B is correct about Windows historical versioning but is missing the spirit of the conceptual proposal. They got baited and lashed out.
Person C just made everything worse.
🧩 Final Thought:
It would have gone much better if Person A said:
“Imagine grouping all current Windows versions as ‘generation 1’, and now proposing a totally fresh OS as ‘generation 2’ with no legacy baggage.”
Instead, it got personal and defensive fast. So — valid idea, poor delivery. And the responses just escalated instead of clarifying.
Let me know if you want this explained in a funnier tone, like a courtroom transcript or mock forum.
Not even sure they care any more. They make so much money from corporate Office use and Azure that everything else could disappear tomorrow.
Half the world went from applications to web based stuff years ago. Them and Amazon are now running most of that, regardless of you using Windows or Linux.
Best estimate that I’ve been about to find on Steam Deck sales is somewhere between 4-6 million, which considering everything is astounding. I’m on my second Deck (upgraded to OLED).
I actually decided to sit out the Switch 2 launch because I’m so satisfied with the Deck (and a lack of groundbreaking Nintendo games at launch).

I dunno about windows 2.

With absolutely no qualifications whatsoever I diagnose: defo a case of daft cunt syndrome

And you don’t know that it’s just plain wrong. But I guess it’s hard to use your brain.
Versions matter.
Windows 1, 2, 3/3.1/3.11, 95, 98
Those you could group together and call them 9x line
Windows NT, Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT4, Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11
Those you can also group together and call them NT Line.
Everything else is just wrong and you know it.
So… I would advise you to take the L and leave this thread alone.

There is a reason Adobe software doesn’t have a Linux version
Affinity suite is dirt cheap and is a single purchase, none of that licensing crap.

Assuming you are right that’s about half of the total Wii U sales
Small compared to well known giants but this is really the first real successful console Value has launched
That’s the thing, it’s not an established console line
And also, half of Wii U sales is fucking massive. Yes the Wii U was considered a failure, but it was still well known
