Not sure why they haven’t done this given that Gamepass is their bread winner and they have no handled equivalent. Giving SD users easy access to their catalog would only increase their sales.

    They want you to run Windows

    Microsoft has been moving away from that course for a while now. They’ve gone from militantly Windows only to supporting whatever they feel drives sales. Windows used to be their breadwinning product. Windows is now just a means to an end, no longer the end game for Microsoft. Their services are what makes them money.

    I suspect the Linux market just isn’t large enough for them to support, especially considering the amount of work it would take to make it all work. Depending on how big handhelds get, I can see them doing a more handheld oriented barebones version of Windows, maybe.
