sc302 Veteran Posted July 22, 2017 Veteran Share Posted July 22, 2017 MS is still making money off of windows. Consumer desktops are being sold with windows on it, that license is not free and the oems are paying for it. Businesses were not offered the free upgrade to 10 (it was short lived for the oem pro licenses) and to get an enterprise license costs. Don't worry about microsoft not making money off of consumers with windows 10, they do just fine with their other avenues of revenue. If there are laptops and desktops, microsoft will continue to make money off of them. It isn't as dead or dying as you think it is.

They have. BMW was using windows ce for their in car interface. Microsoft sync is in ford and I am sure a Microsoft OS is behind that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconian Guppy Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 they could sell their phone business though. However don't know how that would work as the OS isn't exactly open source/ available for other phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Windows Mobile (10) I can't stand after it pretty much destroyed my Lumia 1520. W10M did what years of Apple marketing couldn't - convinced me to try an iPhone.
