Microsoft is one of the biggest brands in the tech industry.
Since our childhood, we have used Microsoft Windows and other applications of this organization and we have also seen the growth of Microsoft's DOS to Windows 11.
But recently Microsoft seems to be losing interest in making its own devices better. Maybe it is because of the reason that its leadership is more interested in AI-based research and other technological innovations, that they are not able to focus on one of the fundamental products which are its "Operating System".
Having said that there are several reasons why Microsoft Windows seems to be outdated these days;
But why is this happening with Microsoft Windows?
Technology has always moved from complex to simpler versions.
Initially, we had Android and Mac devices that had a few complex interfaces, but as time passed by, these devices upgraded themselves with a more simple design and interface.
The same didn't happen with Windows devices. Most of the software that was built for Windows devices was heavy and resource intensive. Similarly, the computers that we currently use that are running on the Windows operating system, although very useful, still they are more complex to understand and operate rather than using a Mac or Android device.
Now I am not saying that Android or Macs can overnight change the demography and dominate the tech market, but if the updated trajectory of Windows remained the same, I think other operating systems will overtake Microsoft in this race, and we can already see issues that have started to creep into Windows-based applications.
We can see there are issues with VBA that were once being used in several MS Office software, but now there is software that are providing a better interface and coding ability to deploy web applications. Collaboration has always been difficult in Microsoft Office Applications. On the other hand, Google Sheets and other software have made it much easier to collaborate as a team.
Still saying that Microsoft Windows will fade away will not be correct because Microsoft as an organization will be having some plans for the same. But it is obvious that Microsoft seems to be losing interest in updating Windows to be more efficient platform as per my views.
