Early data suggests users drifting back to Windows 10

From Patch Tuesday disasters to the "Microslop" PR nightmare, Windows 11 is losing trust. It's also losing one more thing: market share.

    Did my part. I’ve made it known amongst friends, family and colleagues that

    • support for 10 is ending
    • some machines won’t support Win 11 for no apparent technical reason (just to make them obsolete and boost sales of new tech)
    • I’m willing to set up and support Linux systems for anyone willing to make the switch, thus possibly even prolonging the life of perfectly adequate hardware. (Only constraint: I declined switching people with strong software constraints that will not work or not work well on Linux and make them unhappy in the long run).

    There were plenty of requests, including a small business, some absolute power users and even somebody on the other side of the globe. Everyone got a transition period, and since that is done, all machines have been chugging along without much issue. Support requests are near zero (and I do keep asking).

    This may be my little bubble, anecdotal evidence and all that jazz. But from where I’m standing, this train has left the station, and it ain’t comin’ back.
