Summary: IDG and other fake news outlets/networks/sites (selling to companies flattering articles about themselves or renting out 'news space' to them, not just ad space) want us to think Microsoft is doing very well, but it's just that same old Ponzi scheme

LAST night we published "Microsoft 'Delighted' by Windows 11 (Vista 11) Usage, Which is Only 1% Three Months After Official Launch and Six Months After Release Online," in effect twisting the headline from PCWorld's (IDG) Microsoft henchman, who has promoted Microsoft there for many years (no pretence about it).



And meanwhile, Microsoft Bogdan is trying to substitute failure in the market with some vague and shallow perception of "happiness".

Ballmer: We've migrated 2% of Vista 10 users to Vista 11The actual numbers (or simple facts) don't favour Microsoft. One version of Windows cannibalises another while overall the market share of Windows continues to fall. MinceR remarked on last night's post, saying "I'd replace "the failure Vista 11 has been" with "the failure that is Vista 11", as it remains a failure..."

XFaCE said "it is a "has been" OS to be fair"...

"Trying to claim that it's too new to be judged would be a face-saving lie."The video above looks at the scarce coverage of the fake "delight" of Microsoft. I try to explain why they're lying and remind people who does the lying. This is just another example of media capture by Microsoft, wherein the goal is to send "positive messaging" about a failing product (more like rebranding).

Remember that in one form or another (like a fake "leak") Vista 11 has already been "out there" for over 6 months. Yes, more than half a year. Trying to claim that it's too new to be judged would be a face-saving lie.
