ITT: People who don't realize there is a massive amount of software developed for smb and enterprise businesses that only run on Windows which is the primary driver of Windows sales. Quickbooks, various ERP implementations, any kind of legal case management software, Sage, etc
I wonder if a lot of it is because Microsoft will say your computer isn't compatible to upgrade but meanwhile it actually CAN be upgraded and users are just taking what Microsoft tells them as truth and not investigating further.
I myself have upgraded a couple of family members machines to Win 11 even though "technically" Microsoft claims they can't be. just went ahead with it anyways. I could have just thrown Linux on them like Mint or something but some people are just comfortable within windows.
Maybe it‘s not slower, but smaller? I don‘t use Windows on my computer anymore.
Duh. I mean really how can they can't sell it for good reason.
Is it even being "adopted"?
