Yeah valuations are up but the business and products are looking progressively more fucked every month. If there's anything I've seen it's there are barely any people without macbooks coming out of university now and they are the next wave of influence over the whole sector. No one in the sector wants half the stuff that changes - they just want it to work and stay working. No longer a guarantee. Literally there are teams of people all over the planet all trying to simultaneously unfuck Satya's entire vision to keep their businesses from going down the toilet.
That is not someone you should not take advice from.
When I graduated college my friends and classmates enjoyed Windows because it was a stable platform for gaming, despite its EEE strategy. I had even bought a used laptop when they were a luxury few other students had, dual booting RH7 and Win98.
Now I'll probably get my kids MacBooks, despite how buggy MacOS has become. Or maybe a Framework laptop with Linux, if they're feeling adventurous.
