I'm a business owner. I use Linux at home but use windows at work as specialty software requires it. As things move more and more to docker and the like, windows is doomed. We already have an old PC in a high usage area, that does not need power. Its just for checking in on what's happening elsewhere in the building, mainly through cloud software. Its not suitable for windows 11. It will go lonix first. That will start a trickle.

In imagine it will be similar elsewhere. Microsoft are no fools. They know that the is is dead as a concept. They are trying to monetise the is before its obsolete. If even a small portion of users stay, they win.
