When you can use a 2019 MacBook Pro 16 to use a Razer EGPU Box with a 3080 video card and Windows 10 and see the speed of gaming you mouth would drop. I still use the Mac OS side for business and communications. But seeing the sheer speed of titles like Call of Duty Cold War, Doom Eternal, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and VR titles like Alex Half Life, it is truly amazing on a Samsung G7 32in 240hz gaming display.

If Steve Ballmer was still CEO this would have happened years ago.

It actually would have never happened. He was very closed minded. He’d even yell at employees for asking to take a picture with anything other than a Windows Phone and was dead serious about it.

Microsoft for example had a version of office for the iPad ready to go but ballmer wouldn’t let it out. Literally weeks after Satya became the CEO, Office for the iPad was released.

Satya is all about getting Microsoft products into as many hands as possible even if it’s on a rival platform.
 
First of all, that is wildly off topic.
Secondly, if you want to go down the path of security holes, one can 'shoot holes' in every OS in existence.

Here is a recent example on macOS:

Pot and kettle?
I know it’s off topic, but I cringe any time Microsoft talks about updating software to make anything better…

Here are the facts around Windows endpoint security. These are screenshots from a leading Endpoint Detection and Response platform which releases updates every time a threat is identified:

More like the Titanic and the teacup…

Satya’s approach is very much “every product must stand on its own” where Ballmer had a “one Microsoft” philosophy. It’s pretty obvious to me that the open an competitive nature of Satya’s approach is far healthier for Microsoft.
