what's that evidence of? it's also an estimate of all PCs that can upgrade, of 1.5 billion, 500 million still haven't upgraded. Certainly not evidence that people hate it. Many reasons why IT departments may not have upgraded things or why people haven't. In fact, the ones who haven't upgraded kind of are the people who are least likely to know about what windows 11 is like.
Steam's Hardware survey still showed a 2/3 to 1/3 share of Windows 11 to Windows 10 two weeks before the support ended.[1] So about 1/3 of people who use Steam still weren't upgrading even though support was ending.
It took about two and a half years for Windows 10 to overtake Windows 10 in usage (release in July 2015, overtook 7 in January 2018). It's taken more than 3 for Windows 11 (released October 2021, overtook 10 in June 2025), and it only did that with four and a bit months left until support for 10 ended (compared to 3 years for 7). And the number isn't consistently trending downwards for 10 anymore. It's a mess.[2]
> Many reasons why IT departments may not have upgraded things
Running an outdated OS which isn't getting security updates is against regulations in a lot of places. I'd imagine all the major corps were already done doing that by the time support actually ended.

And thus the most likely to be pushed to upgrade by Microslops lack of understanding of what consent is. They're just going to push the button that says 'Next' and have Windows 11 pushed onto them.
again, it's really not evidence of people hating it, you are just talking about adoption numbers. Trying to infer peoples reasons is basically just guesswork.
I'm a people and I hate it. Loathe it, even. Ergo, people hate it.
Together with what I hear from people who use Windows 11, it sure looks like a lot of people are unhappy with what's on offer. I doubt Microslop are willing to publish the relevant numbers or make surveys to figure it out, since that's not going to tell them what they want.
Macworld published some estimates regarding Liquid Ass, and they look very red indeed.[1] I doubt Apple are in a hurry to publish anything about that either.
you understand the problem with what you just said right? Seems your bias is overriding your ability to look at the evidence. Not only that you are doubling down on your position. From my quick investigation on user satisfaction surveys of windows 11, it pretty much seems positive, but they all seem pretty limited in scope. I'm guessing most people are mostly indifferent and don't mind windows 11 and just use it. The amount of people complaining would seems to be a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the user base. I would guess this is what Microsoft sees also.

There is no actual evidence for anything. Nobody is running actual surveys of any scale, since that wouldn't benefit anyone. There is only circumstantial evidence, and that continues to point to Windows growing worse.

And from mine it doesn't, and I have no reason to trust whatever Microslop says.
> it pretty much seems positive, but they all seem pretty limited in scope
Hmm. I wonder why.
> I'm guessing most people are mostly indifferent and don't mind windows 11 and just use it.
I'm guessing most people bailed on computers and started using phones and tablets instead, since the user experience continued to be hostile. That's what I'm seeing from non-gamers in non-work settings.
And if most people are indifferent, but a minority fucking hate it compared to what came before, that's not good. That's bad. That's a regression from what came before. The indifferent remain indifferent, while the angry multiply.
> I would guess this is what Microsoft sees also.
I would guess they don't want to see. It's not in their financial interest to see. They have telemetry out the fucking arse, but don't care to use it to improve the user experience. They have better things to use that for.
