According to Statcounter, Windows 11 held a 55.18% market share in October 2025. That share dropped to 53.7% in November and dropped again in December. Now, Windows 11 holds a 50.73% market share.

Many are rollback to Windows 10, but Linux is increasing as well.

I think that Satya Nadella and a lot of other CEO types genuinely believe in AI, as misguided as it seems. This is more about who they choose to listen too than having an actual understanding of the technology and its limits. And probably some FOMO sprinkled on top.

Sam Altman knows what's up though and so does Jensen Huang. In this gold rush one is peddling the fake gold and the other is selling the shovels.

Agree to disagree, I suppose. I believe the Anthropic guy because he's actually quite nuts about it. Nvidia is the only company that's actually going to make money here, selling shovels, as you said.

Yeah the Antrophic guys are also firmly in the "believer" group.

eh, they've sold most of their shovels on credit (which as income in it's entirety, as one does)...the AIslop companies can't turn a profit then all that revenue goes poof
