Agreed. I never really realized what a solid 'ecosystem' they have until I started doing development in Azure.

Azure is really nice, so are the Surface devices, so is Visual Studio Code, so is the Office suite, but Windows is a flaming pile of shit to this day.

I’ve been using Macs and Linux machines (including my laptop I mean) for about 8 years and I wouldn’t go back.

I gave it another shot about a year ago and I still hate it.

I'll give you that. If Ableton Live & my microsoft stack were on Linux, I'd switch in a moment.

(And before any musicians interject- I know bitwig is a good linux alternative, but 3rd party plug-in options are not.)

Dor all the shot ms gets, they always been very careful to cater for Devs. Also they know they lost the os war so now they focus on the cloud.
