Summary: An “Unknown” OS (not Windows) is taking market share away from Windows; whatever is going on with these statistics, it seems clear Microsoft isn’t coping with a fast-changing world, hence so many layoffs (far more than 10,000 — the “official” number that media loves parroting without investigating; Microsoft is 42 billion dollars in debt and the debt grew more than tenfold since 2010)
