> otherwise we won't get away from the yearly meme

What's different in the last decade is that Windows is on an undeniable quality downward spiral, it's simply not important anymore for Microsoft.

E.g. desktop Linux doesn't even need to improve, it just needs to wait for Windows to become worse ;)

Unless it becomes available for normies to buy laptops with it pre-installed at Saturn, Media Market, FNAC, Cool Blue, and co, it won't matter.

They aren't going to buy them from Tuxedo.

"Normies" buy smartphones and maybe a tablet, neither of those has Windows preinstalled either.

Available at Saturn, Media Market, FNAC, Cool Blue show floor.

...and a market share of 0.02% ;)

(I guess those 'Windows tablets' are running under convertible laptops or something...)

Where do you think normies that don't live in cities with Apple stores, or with salaries unable to afford Apple tax, get their smartphones and tablets?

I have made zero mentions of Windows tablets, that market died with Windows 8, replaced by 2-1 laptops.
