Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling
It's not winning the hearts and minds.
You're viewing a single thread.
I can't wait for massive security problems on corporations once they shut down W10 support and those corporation considering if keeping with windows is woth the risk and the cost anymore.
You mean like they did when Windows 7 went EoL?
Or when Windows XP went EoL?
Or when NT 4.0 went EoL?
This isn't the first time Windows has gone EoL in a corporate environment; what makes you think it'll be better or worse than previously? Some will begin the Win11 transition, some will pay for extended support until Windows 12, a few might switch to Linux, and the rest will run unsecured until circumstances force them to fix it.
This time around there are hardware requirements. Corporations equipment is not usually the latest hardware, and windows 11 is pushing customers to buy new hardware.
I suppose for many corporations upgrading to windows 11 would also mean upgrading the computer, which is an increase cost.
I'm cautiously optimistic.
I think some smaller companies and government/ civil organisations might switch this time around. But probably most large companies will pay for long term Windows 10 support then begrudgingly switch to 11.
Those switching could use something else, but lets face it the only option mature enough other than Mac OS is Linux. Regardless of the number of organizations that do switch the increased exposure should make the idea of an OS that has no license fees being used successfully very tempting to a lot of people.
