Microsoft makes their money from cloud services for businesses, the desktop OS is a loss leader that’s designed to get people to use the cloud services.

What cloud services, office? I find it hard to believe windows OS isn’t possible

M365 including Intune, Entra, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive and Office.
I don’t understand what you mean by “Windows OS isn’t possible”.

Sorry, Profitable, brain fart.
Is there a source on the OS not being profitable?
KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 11 months ago
No, the source is my ass, but I work in IT sales and am specialized on MS licensing, and IMO there’s just no way Microsoft can finance the constant development and cloud infrastructure needed for Windows updates on a one-time-payment of a few bucks for an OEM license.
