Satya Nadella’s closing Windows 11 remarks were a direct shot across Apple’s bow

Say whatever you want about the marketing BS but focus on creation over consumption is, at least, a good thing. Even if they are doing it because they're desperate to retain their stronghold.

"Windows has always stood for sovereignty for creators and agency for consumers"? Yeah... um... Over the years, tell me how Windows has respected my agency on what browser I wanted to use. (For that matter, tell me how well it respects my decisions about where I want the icons to be on my desktop.)

Microsoft has run over my agency any time they felt like they could make a buck by doing so, and sometimes even when they couldn't. (The icon thing is just incompetence - I think - rather than an evil plan to get some more money somehow.)

Windows has never been about agency. Just because it's less of a walled garden than iOS doesn't mean it's a role model. Linux is is still the poster child.

This is a bullshit statement from a company that wanted to create their own version of iOS with Windows RT.

And the web wasn't born on Windows, it was born on Next.
