    MS also recently shared that they lost 400 million Windows users. I bet most of them were Windows 10 users. This isn’t “people finally moved from 10 to 11”, this is “people finally got so fed up with Windows that they abandoned it for other options” (mostly mobile/tablet but also some Linux and OS X).

        That’s why windows 11 overtook windows 10, people just got rid of their windows 10 devices

      Lost those 400 million in 3 years no less. I know this seems like good news, but to me this is worse, because it looks like the PC market is shrinking fast in favor of mobile, and mobile is atrocious when it comes to user freedoms.

      I thought that osx also saw active user count drop? I think it’s people simply don’t need a laptop/desktop at all.

        Yes, as I said, most went to mobile or tablet, so Android or iOS. Basically Windows users went to one of Android, iOS, OS X, or Linux. Some OS X users meanwhile went to iOS or Android.
