    Many folks have older PCs that won’t run 11. And buying a new PC not high on the list when you’re worried about paying for rent, food, transportation, medicine, etc.

      For many is probably just the right opportunity to jump to apple. For older folk, they will keep using windows xp/vista. Microsoft offers little to no value over the alternatives.

      Most of us, tech savvy are already in linux we will probably just delete the Windows partition.

        I’ve recently gotten a couple (absolutely tech illiterate) friends and family to move to Linux. It’s finally there - it’s much easier to use than windows now.

        And if you don’t want to keep shelling out for new computers every few years, doubly so - Linux works fine on decade+ old hardware (and you can keep upgrading practically indefinitely to stay within security windows, so you barely ever need to actually buy new hardware)
