>>8728797windows is basically required for pc gaming
office is still essentially required in any professional setting
outlook is still the best scheduling program out there even if its email functionality has been matched
bing gives me free amazon credit which is more than i can say for any other search engine
visual studio is still the best ide out there and vscode is the best lightweight ide out there
teams is dogshit though i'll grant that, microsoft should just buy out discord and make an enterprise fork, i'm pretty sure the discord owners are having trouble paying bills as it is
internet explorer is shit but only because it's like 20 years of backwards compatibility on a moving target. edge was a lot better and there was even a ublock origin port for it that worked great. chromium edge looks like it could be better than chrome.
onedrive is great. google drive has feature parity but doesn't integrate as well with windows and i believe icloud doesn't work on android
onenote is fucking awesome and probably the best full-featured note-taking application out there. keep's got it beat for lightweight note-taking, though. google did a good job with that.
let's look at the competition though
apple's got decent software but their hardware is poorly designed malfunctioning dogshit and they're just beginning to actually work with third party repair instead of deliberately interfering with them. they also have massive lock-in and walled garden ios is cancer, can't even run retroarch.
android's got a massive fragmentation problem where people are using android versions that haven't been updated in years and then wondering why their bank accounts have been drained.
chromeos is literally a browser and they still can't support it for more than five years
linux is a good choice for development or servers and is getting better for general use but there are still a lot of one-off things that only run on windows.
