Microsoft Lost 29% of Windows Users, Based on Microsoft, Now Come Massive Layoffs
Microsoft collapse is today
"Just over one billion active devices use Windows for their operating system, according to Microsoft. That sounds like an impressive statistic, but the company isn't as quick to point out that three years ago, the figure stood at 1.4 billion, meaning 400 million devices are no longer running the OS. In a post focused on Windows 10's upcoming end-of-support date (October 14), Microsoft EVP Yusuf Mehdi boasts that Windows is the most widely used operating system in the world today, with over one billion monthly active devices globally. However, it's been noted that in its 2022 annual report, Microsoft said 1.4 billion devices were running Windows 10 or Windows 11, up from 1.3 billion devices a year earlier." - TechSpot yesterday
Today Microsoft will lay off many people (maybe as many as 10,000 or even more), then toss some bogus figures to the media through one of its media moles or operatives, as usual. The LLM slop will help relay the face-saving lies.
"Spill the tea please!" says this new thread. "Who knows about the teams being impacted? We all know managers or leadership have their list. Internal calls have taken place to prep for tomorrow. Insider, share the info!"
"It’s going to be a blood bath in MCAPS," one person wrote. "Judson taking sabbatical," said another.
Friday is US Independence Day, so many journalists are already on holiday or about to go on holiday. The chosen date (chosen by Microsoft) isn't a coincidence. They did the same last year.
Later today statCounter is expected to release some early new statistics for the month of July. We shall see how Windows has fared by the end of June. █
