>"modern laptops are good enough."

Good enough for what? I am not sure I understand what you are claiming or how it disagrees with an OP. The point is, for many users the computer is just where they run a browser.

It does not matter whether they have desktop or laptop, and how powerful they are.

Well there is a big difference between MANY and MOST. There is a whole world of creative people to whom browser on a phone just does not cut it.

Percentage of people living on web-apps is > 10%. Linux Desktop is 0.8% according to Statcounter, September 19

Which is the bigger threat?

Why on Earth did you bring LINUX desktop here? Anyways I am done with this Kool-Aid

That was the point of this entire thread. That MS doesn't care about Linux Desktop, so it's no longer a threat. The browser is the new threat, so being buddies with Linux is fine.

There's no secret plan here. Priorities have changed since 2002...
