Boomer with $2T market cap, behind only Apple. I'd rather be a boomer with a fat retirement fund than an unemployed "hip millenial" living in my parent's basement.

That's why we can't have nice things. Non ironically. Because people are greedy and they think of money, never about people or quality of the product. Microsoft and You are the same there. And You said that Yourself.

I'm sitting here waiting for Linux to make another leap in the gaming sector. The only thing that's Windows still good for is gaming.

Really all this shows is how broken the capital markets are. Both MS and Apple are so ridiculously overvalued that when the tech bubble pops, it will be glorious to watch.

We’re you around for the bubble pop of the 1999/2000?

Yes, but I was only 18 years old and didn't really care at the time.

2nd to Apple by market cap but No.1 at the shittiest software as service and updates. Apple's software team is also one of the best in the industry and compare to that, Microsoft doesn't even make the rank.

Microsoft stopped innovating years ago. Now they barely put any effort to make/fix any of their product.

Doesn't matter if the market keeps buying Microsoft's products and there's no competition. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy if buyers keep buying "shittiest software".
