    It’s a nice circle jerk, but it has way more market share than Linux (at least on desktop, which y’know it’s a desktop OS), so by that measure it is a “success”.

    You have to really stretch to some abstract definition of success to call it a failure.

      It’s a market success and a performance failure. Not much of a stretch of any definition.

        Yes, all those XP machines kept upgrading…

        No, the actual market share of Windows 11 specifically, even against other Windows OS’s, far surpasses Linux.
