    MS also recently shared that they lost 400 million Windows users. I bet most of them were Windows 10 users. This isn’t “people finally moved from 10 to 11”, this is “people finally got so fed up with Windows that they abandoned it for other options” (mostly mobile/tablet but also some Linux and OS X).

      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 still 1.4 billion.

      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.

      400 million windows devices not users.

        That’s why windows 11 overtook windows 10, people just got rid of their windows 10 devices

        Same difference. If someone has a Windows 10 device and got rid of it, but didn’t purchase a Windows 11 device to replace it, they’re no longer a Windows user. Sure they could have had multiple Windows devices for some reason, but it’s rare for someone to own more computers than they have potential users to operate them (barring things like schools or companies that maintain a fixed pool of devices, although even they try to avoid having significant excess inventory). So yes, fewer Windows devices is to within a certain margin of error fewer Windows users.

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

        Yes, as I said, most went to mobile or tablet, so Android or iOS. Basically Windows users went to one of Android, iOS, OS X, or Linux. Some OS X users meanwhile went to iOS or Android.

    If Microsoft in any way insinuates that people want to use Windows 11, I’m going to punch them in the neck.

    And I still can’t open the calendar by clicking on the clock on my second monitor.

      That’s a windows 10 thing, that they for some reason got rid of in 11. I have no idea why and it just makes the UX worse.

      Try KDE Plasma, you can put one clock on your second monitor that opens a calendar…or 10. Whatever you want, really.

        That’s great, but like, this was a native and very obvious feature in Windows 10 and every other Windows that I remember, and they somehow chopped it and never replaced it.

        …now I want to open 10 different calanders at once. In different colors. But only use the pink one. I’ll close the other 9, and grumble “GOD DAMN COMPUTER!!! WHY DON’T THEY FIX THIS SHIT???”

        And again…only use the pink one.

    And yet i still can’t click on icons on the taskbar to bring up a window that is behind another. Gotta use “alt+tab” until I get to the window I want to show up. At first I just thought it was my PC at work but I later found out that it’s every PC in the entire building. It’s absolutely infuriating that features that’ve worked for 30 years are now suddenly broken in Windows 11. I started migrating to Linux for my home PC and it has only made me hate Windows even more when I go into work.

      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.
