Why are people acting all surprised? This is the company that brought you Clippy and the Zune.

On 14 October 2025 they'll give you the final incentive to kick them to the kerb and install a different OS when your perfectly fine Windows 10 PC stops getting security updates.

Yo, what’s with the Zune hate? I loved my turd brown Zune so much.

Right, Zune was one of their few wins. So of course it died. Just like the Windows Phones just as they started getting good.

2025 will be the year that Linux will see an influx of users, and it will all be due to Microsoft's anti-consumer practices.
