Lost those 400 million in 3 years no less. I know this seems like good news, but to me this is worse, because it looks like the PC market is shrinking fast in favor of mobile, and mobile is atrocious when it comes to user freedoms.

I thought that osx also saw active user count drop? I think it’s people simply don’t need a laptop/desktop at all.

400 million windows devices not users.

No, they didn't. This community read too much into a blog post that stated "over 1 billion," compared it against an old blog post from several years ago that stated a more precise number of "1.4 billion" and came to the hasty conclusion that they must have lost 400 million users.

Microsoft has since updated their blog post to clarify that it's now "over 1.4 billion."

Edit: downvotes, really? Can't even correct misinformation in this community anymore?

I have no idea why windows 11 axed that and it just makes the UX worse. It doesn't even make it simpler for noob users.

Weird, I only get this with windows hello.

But seriously windows 11 has so many shitty fucking bugs. All my computer's except my work computer are mac or Linux. It really opens the eyes to how poorly built windows is these days.

Yeah, and its most likely only due to them killing Windows 10 in the fall, which means a lot of companies have been working hard this year to replace a ton of computers before October. Anyone who has been down this road with 7 to 10 knows it will just cost more money if you need to continue support after that. They sell you a new license thats good for a year that will allow updates to continue. It doubles in cost every year after.
