Microsoft Revives Focus on Windows After Years of Neglect

Microsoft's Windows has been around for over two decades and has played a crucial role in the company's success. However, it seems that Windows has been neglected in recent years, with other products taking center stage.

The shift in focus towards other areas is not surprising, given Microsoft's growth and diversification into cloud services, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies.

According to a former Microsoft employee, the company's decision to neglect Windows was due to its waning strategic importance. With more users switching to Macs and iPhones, Microsoft had to adapt and focus on other areas of the business, such as Office 365 and Azure.

In recent years, Microsoft has made efforts to revive interest in Windows, with a new focus on quality and user experience. The company has reunited the Windows client teams and combined them with Surface hardware under one roof, leading to the launch of Windows 11.
