Microsoft quietly implies Windows has LOST millions of users since Windows 11 debut β€” are people really abandoning ship?

A recent blog post from Microsoft gave us an up-to-date statistic on the number of Windows devices there are the world today, and that number is down by up to 400 million over the last number it gave.

Windows Central

Heh! Given the mainframe wars shenanighans, I assume that the implication is that the "fair and square" on Google's part is to be considered equally suspect.

@paco made a very good point that made me wonder what a "legitimate abuse" could be; and whether secret code to make 1-2-3 and DR-DOS not interoperate with one's product would count. (-:

The reality is that we've been through this cycle, with IBM, Microsoft, Apple, and Google, four times.

Regardless of which #linux distribution you use, the documentation of #arch linux is always top notch. Kudos!

VIM has become my favorite platform and video game at the same time! Plus: I heard that it is useful for text editing too.

What is your favorite dead operating system?

Mine is #BeOS. The filesystem is also a database? The most multimedia focused OS since Amiga? Revolutionary multithreading support?
I even had a legitimately purchased copy of GoBe Productive.

PalmOS and OS/2 tie for 2nd place.

Top tip voor bedrijven die denken dat alles van Microsoft de way to go is om jouw IP te beschermen: geef de vrijheid aan software ontwikkelaars om het OS te gebruiken van hun keuze (en geef hen admin rechten by default!). Anders jaag je een hoop ontwikkelaars weg. #linux #windows #macos #oswars
