Summary: Vista 11 has been out since the summer of 2021 and its market share is now estimated to be at 2.61%, probably due to a total lack of incentive to ‘upgrade’ or purchase a new PC (with Vista 11 preinstalled against one’s will)

THE END of Windows isn’t here yet. Many people still use Windows, but many people also use mobile devices and those almost never use Windows. The reason for the persistence of the monopoly is just crime. Microsoft used crime to get this monopoly and it is still using crime to protect monopolies. It also bribes those who would otherwise file antitrust complaints.

“Microsoft used crime to get this monopoly and it is still using crime to protect monopolies.”

The video above discusses the trends seen in light of reports such as this one from Make Tech Easier. To quote: “The stats say that while Windows 11 has been publicly available for the past year, only 2.61% of Windows machines are running it.”

It has actually been out for about 15 months already. It’s failing so badly that it’s almost unbelievable and citing another source of data [1, 2] we already showed that 6 months after its release Vista 11 had only 1% in terms of market share.

The growth platform seems to be Android, which is based on Linux. As for ‘proper’ GNU/Linux, this is what the graph looks like:

I gave possible explanations in the video above and I’ve saved the image along with the spreadsheet as OpenDocument Format (ODF).

“The growth platform seems to be Android, which is based on Linux.”

So news reports say vista 11′s market share is 2.6% and Microsoft cannot deny that, as usual. “The rate of change is important,” an associate remarked. “That and how long it has been declining for. Also it is important to point to a way out, even if it is Linux Mint or PeppermintOS. Vista 11 only has any market share at all because of the Wintel duopoly and the grip (monopoly) has with OEMs.” █
