If your job is paid by advertising, yes.

Why, this will only want Microsoft to pay more for advertising, as clearly it's becoming more necessary to do so.

How are trade publications getting more from Microsoft if their readers move to Linux?

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Because losing customers would force Microsoft to advertise more in these trade publications, to swing momentum back to Windows.

Don't preach to the choir, convince the wayward sheep to return, so to speak.
