Seems like a way to push hardware sales

MS doesn't really sell much hardware though...

What are you talking about? Most people buy from major manufacturers, so another hardware sale means another Windows sale.

Pretty narrow vision. Microsoft can suggest hardware for you and charge the seller for the advert.

Wow your chrome is running really slow, try buying new Corsair ddr5 ram available now on amazon

~~They sell bogus certification for others hardware though.~~

They used to, not relevant today. Sorry.

Do they? This is the first I'm hearing about this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Looks like my info is pretty out of date, they stopped charging a long time ago.

Ms will be paid handsomely by intel and nvidia to push their hardware and ignore competition. Kinda like intel has always done make their cpus seem and benchmark better.
