I have used a Windows OS almost every day of my life since 1999 or so. Last December I had a choice and switched to MacOS for work laptop. Since then I seldom use Windows and I don't really regret.

I still use an Xbox almost every day so there's that. In the last couple of weeks there's been some good news coming through for Xbox so we'll see.



Did you create an apple id?

At least macos doesn't require it to install software.

ios is a different story.


I didn't create an Apple ID. The MacBook is from work and I use AD account to access it.


What news are you referring to? The only news about Xbox I've caught is that it's declining in profit because they removed Xbox exclusives.


Asha is doing some good decisions, or it seemed so until the XBOX Reset blog post.

However beyond XBOX, Microsoft is one of the biggest publishers as per amount of owned studios especially since ABK acquisition, so even when XBOX is doing bad, Microsoft Publishing is doing great.


That doesn't seem to address my comment. I was specifically asking why esalman wrote

Since I wasn't sure what good news they were referring to.


Mainly they admitted that they lost substantial amount of subscribers when they hiked game pass prices last year.

They also gave away free Xbox consoles to attendees at Xbox fanfest.
