I am a big Microsoft guy but I am about to have zero windows machines in my home.

The final justification for a physical windows desktop was to play games, but I haven't touched a single title in months. Gaming feels like something I am completely over at this point.

My ideal tech stack at home is starting to look like one MacBook as you say. All the windows stuff I do for work is on a Windows365 desktop in the cloud. I've got a region within 10 milliseconds of my home office and it's been working out great so far.

Will probably get rid of these boxes before next year rolls around.



> I am a big Microsoft guy

Could you elaborate on this more? What do you mean? What makes you a big Microsoft guy? I mainly ask because everything else you said seems contradictory of that so I'm curious your definition


I strongly prefer their technology stack to any other: Azure, Visual Studio, .NET/C#, Windows Server, SQL Server, etc.


Just curious what you like on Windows Server


As a platform for hosting applications, as opposed to Linux?


Thanks, that makes sense!

Which is why releasing games for Mac users has less sense, than Windows or Linux. You're probably in the category of a casual gamer, which is served well by mobile games.
