I'm with you

Teams, modern O365, AD, Azure, etc only sells because its built on Windows.

I can assure you, I'm watching an org entrench themselves deeper into the MS eco to obtain these services. The reasoning is that the systems they have are useless and they believe MS will fix everything.

If MSFT loses the home market, businesses have a high chance of following, especially since their QA process relies exclusively on home users.

There is a 10-15 year delay on this as a user-base from school needs to be developed. This could happen if schools find they can run the software they need on older and older hardware.

All they really need is to reach maybe 10% desktop market share, and MSFT would start facing a slaughter in the coming years as big OEMs start shipping linux from factory.
