Microsoft Will Collapse Piecewise
Several weeks ago we said we would leave aside statCounter for the most part in order to concentrate on some other things, then come back to statCounter at a later date. According to the estimates towards the last week of the month, GNU/Linux continues to grow, more so in Asia:
Realistically, due to new PCs still being sold, one might expect Vista 11's usage to surge, but this has not happened and after more than 3 years "out there" Vista 11 is seeing the adoption rate Vista 10 saw in about one year.
Vista 11 has basically been an utter failure and Microsoft shills (disguised as "pros", not "bros") have quit talking about a Vista 12. The vapourware has its limits.
How will Microsoft actually make money? 'Open'AI's losses grew about tenfold; there's no money in this LLM thing.
Meanwhile, regarding games, morale is terrible, financial targets aren't met (there was an article about it just before the weekend), and more things got canceled/shut down last week, not to mention the mass layoffs. Suddenly articles like "Is Xbox Shutting Down in 2023?" do not seem so far-fetched; only the numbers (e.g. year) need some adjustment. █
