Inevitable... Microsoft isn’t good at hardware, and there haven’t really been any killer new feature in operating systems since windows NT.

Without a compelling reason to buy a new OS every few years they’ll go under.

So they’ve created a new feature of their own - and it’s a real “killer” - in the form of a time bomb demanding money and holding your files to ransom.

They aren’t alone in this model, it has been tried before in the 1980s and 1990s by mainframe companies - all of which have died anyway except IBM.
