Vertical integration. Windows underpins Office, and even cloud services.

Xbox though, they've already pretty much written its epitaph.

Isn't Linux mostly used for cloud services though?

Xbox should’ve been the prestige product for Microsoft (just like Logic/Final Cut for Apple) but Xbox itself depleted any prestige it ever accumulated over the last few years.

Xbox is actively being dropped from Target and Walmart, but it doesn't help that the push is for digital games with no physical presence in stores.
