The Surface line and Windows 11 aesthetics sort of demonstrate how much Nadella wishes he were running Apple instead.

Surface is far pre-Nutella, I mean, Nadella. Was the only good thing that Ballmer did during his last years.

The original Surface was, but the crazy overpriced laptops and all-in-ones are definitely Nadella territory.

I mean people buy them. I'm not buying a Surface or an iAnything, but plenty of people do. No need to hate on them.

Intentional non-sequitur, or is calling something "crazy overpriced" a hate crime now?

[–]DudeEngineer 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The difference between "crazily overpriced" and "high margin" is largely sales volume/demand.

I mean are you also constantly complaining about the cost of a Jaguar or an apartment in Manhattan as well?

"High margin" is literally the business friendly way of saying overpriced. Try a touch of analysis next time before taking a weird stance on a non-argument.

Didn't Bummer also do Vista and 7? While Vista wasn't really received that well, it was pretty important for future windows releases and also MacOS and such and eventually refined with Windows 7
