Microsoft is losing Builders fast. They're switching to MacOS and Linux. The biggest pull keeping people on Windows, outside of shear inertia, is content creation and gaming. However, even these are falling to Linux.

Without Builders, you don't have software, and without software, you don't have users. This is why Microsoft needs Windows Lite.

Seconded. I moved to Win10 LTSC IoT on some, Bazzite on others, and haven't looked back.

I'm never loading naked spyware Win11 again.

When forced to move off win10iot I'll go to win11iot for anything mission critical for windows.

But by then I'd better be 90% MacOS/Linux.
