Tech News Update: Windows 10 Gains Popularity, AMD Sales Decline, Apple’s Earnings, and More.
Windows 10 vs. Windows 11
Recent stats show that Windows 10 has surged in popularity, reaching a market share of 70% of desktop Windows systems, while Windows 11 has dipped to less than 26%. The pushback against Windows 11 could be due to user dissatisfaction with ads and a focus on security over all else. Microsoft’s emphasis on security, even at the cost of breaking VPNs with updates, might be alienating some users, prompting them to stick with the more familiar Windows 10 environment. Could this be the beginning of the end for Windows 11?
