Comment on Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome
David_Eight@lemmy.world 1 year agoThe entire world runs on Microsoft products.
Except for all the Mac/iOS Android/Chrome stuff. Or NASA, the NY stock exchange, 50% of servers, Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Department of Defense, Nuclear submarines etc. those run on Linux. But other than those yes, the entire world lol
SCB@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yes. Aside from them, about 5 billion other people use Microsoft products.
This isn’t fanboy shit dude this is just reality.

The latest estimate of how many people that use the internet at all is around 5 billion. Where did you get that number?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Internet_usage
Android is by far the most used operating system for web use and for servers it’s estimated at 77 % linux, not 50 % as stated above.

Windows dominated the desktop segment, you should realize that desktop use is in decline in favor of mobile usage.

I got that number by picking a random large number.
The point is it’s silly to suggest that Microsoft is not the global industry standard for most businesses.
