CNBC
Jul 10, 2021


Microsoft Windows debuted in 1985 and for the past two decades it has been the dominant PC operating system worldwide. In 2020, Windows had almost 83% market share by unit shipments, while Google Chrome OS had 10% and Apple’s Mac OS had 7%, according to Gartner.
From solitaire to its iconic start button and start up sounds, productivity apps, gaming and corporate computing, Windows changed the way we use computers. The legendary Windows 95 helped propel the company to dominate the market in personal computing. Microsoft has introduced many versions of Windows since its inception with some more memorable than others. It’s competed with IBM, Apple, and Google for market space. According to Microsoft, there are more than 1.3 billion devices running Windows 10 worldwide on a monthly basis.
Today, Windows only makes up 14% of Microsoft’s business but remains a critical part of it. The company just announced the latest version Windows 11.
CNBC spoke with former Microsoft employees including Terry Myerson, Michael Cherry, Brad Silverberg and Tandy Trower to get a look back at over three decades of Windows.

Yea I got both.. my MacBook Pro for my personal and my job supplies me with a windows laptop.

I learned computers with windows so it wasn’t new to me.. but it doesn’t feel as fluid as apple does… BUT even though I didn’t pay for my windows laptop.. I’m sure the price points keep windows super competitive.

Buy what works best for the job. Don't get wrapped up in corporate fights.

I got a lot of love for Windows but there are times when Mac OS ​is just flat out better, like Photoshop and creative apps. There also isn't a better built laptop on the market than a MacBook Pro.

I've pretty much had the same computer since 95 (rebuilt and swapped out parts, so at this point its a new computer, it's now just my upstairs computer and not my main) any viruses I got, were caused by me or kids.....It's usually always user error. I also got rid of them and realistically in all my years of owning windows, I've probably had like 20 viruses all together in over 20 years. On top of the fact that I was heavy on the Jack Sparrow tip

That aint sh1t.

Apple gets by because the userbase had never been big enough to target for viruses and it's a pretty closed system. The same way I feel about Android is the same way I feel about Windows overall. People that love Apple for the most part, dont mind having their hand held in a lot of ways. Windows/Android people tend to want to experiment more and get the most out of their systems. We can pretty much do everything out of the box while ya'll had to jailbreak for a lot of things (I'm speaking from my experiences in owning Apple products too) The stability is cool, but I don't need anyone telling me what I can and cant do on products I own and making my product damn near obsolete in 8 months.

This is the thing that a lot of people get mixed up. Apple is a hardware company and Microsoft is a software company. If you want the Mac OS, you have to have it installed on a Macbook (Excluding people who make their own Hackintoshes). But this way, Apple can enforce quality hardware engineering principles and security all of the way at the hardware abstraction layer that interfaces with the drivers, OS, and associated apps.

Microsoft builds operating systems software. I mean there is the Microsoft Surface but, generally, you purchase their OS on Lenovo, HP, Acer, Dell, and other manufacturers etc. You will be able to get the new OS on a piece of $299 Black Friday trash that will continuously crash and have issues. Also, because the Windows OS is so user friendly and easy to install, you can install the new OS yourself on a very very old system that you have no business installing it on.

This is not the only issue but this is a large part. I have both a PC and a Mac and I have never had any problems at all with my PC on a nice quality framework.
