Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft's Executive Vice President, disclosed that the global count of active Windows devices has surpassed 1 billion. Nonetheless, a comparison with the 2022 financial report, which revealed a total of 1.4 billion Windows 10 and 11 devices, indicates a drop of approximately 400 million Windows users over the past three years. In response to the challenge of obsolete systems reaching end-of-support, Microsoft is vigorously promoting the upgrade to Windows 11. While Apple Mac once posed a significant competitive threat to Windows, recent years have seen a decline in Mac sales. Market trends suggest a shift towards smartphones and tablets, with Windows PCs now primarily appealing to gamers and users reliant on specific professional software. Despite a temporary surge in PC sales during the pandemic, overall market demand continues to wane. As the support for Windows 10 nears its end, enterprises may experience a surge in device procurement and upgrades; however, it remains unclear whether ordinary consumers will follow suit and upgrade their systems.
