No, this isn't another rant about how you should convert to Linux because it's free, although it is free. Free is a four-letter word among those who scoff at the mere mention of Linux. Yes, Linux is free, but that doesn't give it an unfair advantage on the desktop because most computers arrive preloaded with Windows - so to the buyer it appears Windows is also free.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
its the other four letter word i care about
open
:)
windows itself is a virus that messes ur system up, go with linux or mac os
linux may be free
but windows is better i mean why had a pc that can boot up in 1 minite when you can have one that boots in 10 windows for the win
or not
Let's see.
NO cost = $50 licensing savings on OEM systems (Dell as an example)
FREE Office Suite (Open Office) = $400 savings over Office 2k7 Pro
NO need for AV software (Linux is inherently immune) = $50 savings
NO need for Media Creation Software (K3B, Video Editing software) = $100 savings
NO need for Photoshop (GIMP) = $600 savings
So just off the top of my head $1,200 USD saved.
So yes Linux is in fact cheaper, faster, more stable and secure than Windows on the desktop. It is also as feature rich if not moreso than Windows. Lastly, the biggest thing is that it is OPEN.
My family didnt have a choice, i got rid of windows on all computers and put ubuntu on, my grampa (who is now 83) took to it like a duck to water, my mom doesnt want to learn, and my dad doesnt care
