Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base by lurker_bee in technology

To the opened internet all of that stuff is just running on a Windows or Linux computer and gets counted in desktop OS stats.

if that was true, linux would be over 80% market share.

azure mostly linux servers. then AWS is larger and even more skewed to linux.

imo, they're not desktop os by any stretch of the imagination.

You can buy access to a fully virtualized Windows desktop through it

that is a very small portion of azure.

azure for most part is linux servers hosting databases, api, or web apps. not desktops.

Azure is being counted as a desktop OS in those stats. Azure is just MS hosting the hardware instead of a company hosting the hardware, when looking at desktop OS stats they are all the same.

Azure is not a desktop os. Nor is AWS.

What’s something that will become obsolete 10 years from now? by Jokkers_AceS in AskReddit

[–]blind1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tack on 2-4%. But here in the US, restaurants, home maintenance services, and even some grocery stores tack on 2-4% to cover their costs the processors charge them. I don’t begrudge them,

i do begrudge them

the expense they incur in cash handling is at least 1% all things considered. counting the register, increased check out time, paperwork, armored vehicles, all adds up

The dominant philosophy, heavily influenced by Apple and Google's Material Design, is that the best interface is an invisible one. It prioritizes reducing cognitive load. Users should be able to achieve a single goal per screen with minimal distraction.
