Description

Windows 11 hit 70%+ market share this year but almost none of it happened because people wanted it. Windows 10 support ended, and millions of users got pushed onto a system that's been quietly getting worse for years - ads in the Start Menu, a Recall feature that stored your passwords in plain text, security features that tank your frame rate, and hardware requirements that turned 240 million working PCs into e-waste overnight. This one goes through what actually happened behind the "market dominance" headlines - the StatCounter data scare earlier this year, the TPM 2.0 fallout, the File Explorer memory leaks, the Recall privacy disaster, and why even Microsoft's own engineers have reportedly been avoiding Copilot. If you've ever wondered why your PC feels slower and more annoying than it did five years ago, this is why. Is your next machine still running Windows, or are you already planning your exit? Let me know in the comments.
