    Sounds like you live in an echo chamber. Windows is still by far the most popular computer operating system, and it’s not even close. There’s no sign of people moving away from Windows en-masse. Windows 11 adoption has been massive.

      If Win11 adoption is really massive, it’s because MS forced it down people’s throats.

        Compared to Linux adoptions (and I mean every distro combined), the adoption of Windows 11 is ginormous.

        The reason it was “forced down throats” is because the average user doesn’t give a shit and would still be on Windows 2000 if it came with their computer.

        Yet they would still blame Microsoft if anything went wrong.

        For comparison, if people adopted Linux the same way, you’d have people still on Corel Linux.

      I work at a national IT support company talking to hundreds of windows users every week, and the general sentiment is that Windows 11 is unnecessary, new outlook is literally the Antichrist and people are sick of being charged more and more every year for crap they don’t want or need.

      Just l8ke I still see 2012R2 servers in the wild, Windows 10 isn’t going away anytime soon.

      Sounds like you live in a contrarian chamber. People really do hate the “new Outlook” (basically it’s just Hotmail) and Windows 11 adoption has been slower than for most other versions of Windows. The requirements often mean needing to buy a new computer which a lot of people can’t afford, especially if prices go up because of tariff nonsense.

      There will be a lot of people still running on out of support Windows 10 systems at the end of the year.

        New outlook is a steaming pile. Classic Outlook has some very handy features and unless Evolution pulls its finger out, I will continue to use classic Outlook. Hell, I used Outlook 2010 until last year.

        It met my needs.
