End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? (endof10.org)

If Win11 adoption is really massive, it's because MS forced it down people's throats.

[โ€“] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

Compared to Linux adoptions (and I mean every distro combined), the adoption of Windows 11 is ginormous.

The reason it was "forced down throats" is because the average user doesn't give a shit and would still be on Windows 2000 if it came with their computer.

Yet they would still blame Microsoft if anything went wrong.

For comparison, if people adopted Linux the same way, you'd have people still on Corel Linux.
