Funny how Kaspersky thinks what it comes down to are people who are afraid of change, when there's also just people who are also not too happy with the direction Microsoft is taking their OS. And then there's the fact that their stats only come from users who still use Kaspersky, which might be mostly businesses, instead of the average joe, skewing the data.

I moved to a linux-only system for about 5 years now, and it's been great, as a daily-driver and a learning experience as well. Microsoft does so much hand-holding that it's own users are not expected to care about security and privacy.

I can't wait for what comes first. The claudication and predictable extended support or the wave of malware paralyzing half the world over unsecured devices.

If they just sold a very simple lightweight barebone version of Win 10 for 30-40 usd with regular security updates for the next 200 years, they could make so much money for eternity. Just sell those Apps/Widgets as additional paid apps, that is all you need.

But the app/widget spyware is what they want you to run.

11 was fine until they forced Copilot Vision on everyone. That was the straw for me to finally bail to Linux

They did what now? I have no Copilot features turned on in my PCs, and I actually have a certified Copilot+ laptop.

The only reason I got a Win11 computer at work is that the new box came with Win11 preinstalled.

Most work is still done on an aging Win7 box and my Linux laptop.
