Another Case Study Regarding Edge's Death
Don't laugh. It's no joking matter at Microsoft.
HAVING just covered Romania (Edge at 2.3%), we thought we'd cover an example of Edge moving down, not up, while its developers are being laid off en masse by Microsoft (the media barely mentioned this at the time).
We previously mentioned how minuscule Windows had become in Jamaica (that is still the case; Windows still stuck at around 14% and search not gaining since the LLM hype). Well, take a look at browsers and the underlying data, which looks like this for Edge:
So in Jamaica, people adopt Chrome and a lot more people use obscure browsers than adopt the latest Edge. In fact, over time more and more users dump Edge.
In the book "Barbarians Led by Bill Gates" the daughter of Microsoft's PR mogul wrote: "The Justice Department also renewed its request that the court fine Microsoft $1 million a day for contempt and, in an unusual move, asked the judge to give the government new authority to review any new operating systems or browsers made by Microsoft at least thirty days before release."
Microsoft broke the law so many times before. It deserves no market share at all.
Notice how they interfere with dual boot now. Nothing has changed. Nothing is improving. █
"A lot of people make that analogy that competing with Bill Gates is like playing hardball. I'd say it's more like a knife fight."
