    Windows is still good enough for Microsoft to sell licenses, sell services, and other large contracts.

    It does not need to be faster, safer, or generally “better” since there is no competition in the traditional sense. Almost everyone is trained to work with Windows and almost all software works on Windows, so it’s just (seen as) a more sensible option for most businesses.
