Eh some other company will buy it. Windows is still one of Microsoft’s main money maker. Also what company would want to miss on the sweet sweet data Windows is collecting, that alone is worth tens of billions.
No it is not their main money generator. Their personal computing segment of the company which includes Windows, Xbox, Bing and surface is less than 15B in revenue compared with 100B for Azure. So windows is literally a single digit percentage of their revenue.
Yeah the way I see it either
A) Someone buys it although it probably will lose user share maybe it becomes a corporate OS
B) A bunch of proprietary Linux distros / forks crop up
C) MacOS
