Microsoft Windows Falls to 12% in Myanmar

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 08, 2025

7 months ago: Myanmar/Burma: Google Gains One Percent, Microsoft Loses One Percent Since the LLM Hype ('Bing Chat') | 8 months ago: Microsoft Has Slipped Out of Control in Myanmar, GNU/Linux Rose From 0.1% to 3%

IN recent years Myanmar was mostly mentioned in relation to war/conflict. It is a poor country and it also faces destruction from within. But what about technology? Well, Windows is falling:

Myanmar does not have a rush for "HEY HI PCs" or some other Microsoft ploy. Instead, people find cheaper devices that can access the Web.

Remember that Microsoft is virtually 0% in mobile. It has no prospects of changing this. It's running out of money and making up stuff to pretend that it's "market leader' in... something... a buzzword basically. █
