Windows at 1%
YESTERDAY we wrote about Android reaching 93% in Sudan, according to statCounter anyway (there are many caveats).
If one wants to see Windows at a very low share, one should look at CAR. Windows is a dying breed there.
But there's a more important point to be made. It's about what it means to revenue extracted from Windows, i.e. Microsoft's ability to pay salaries and keep the lights on. Microsoft's cash cow is monopoly rents and it's gradually losing these, in turn replacing them with fraud and vapourware (as debt skyrockets; Microsoft has long relied on bailouts of sorts).
In the market share posts, one person said, it would be a good idea to resume adding the comment, each and every time Windows is below 80%, that monopoly rents are dependent on a monopoly which is in turn dependent on market share.
Without the market share, the rents go away. The reason that is important is because about four fifths of the customer payments for Windows are due to monopoly rents. Without the market share, Microsoft Windows income goes down to a fifth of what it had been. We're already seeing signs of them having to cut way back because of that massive loss.
statCounter shows Windows at all-time lows this month. The way things are going, Microsoft is in trouble. How much longer can Microsoft rely on bailouts? Here's an article from Friday:
Quit throwing taxpayers' money at Microsoft, especially when it fails to fulfil basic needs and instead facilitates espionage by foreign and very hostile nations. █
