Too little, too late.
Everyone's switching to Linux now, in droves. Microsoft have hit that Trust Thermocline[0] and that has made perfectly ordinary people like your parents or the guy you sometimes chat to in the pub or your plumber go "You know what, fuck it, I'm going to give this Linux thing a go", and they actually are doing that.
We're at a point now where most people do everything in a web browser, for better or worse, so the OS that your browser runs on is pretty much irrelevant. It's been that way for years, but it's taken Windows to get to a point where it's not just that people don't like it but they actively distrust it.
