The Windows 11 Trash Party

I long for the day when someone will dissect the numbers, and show how much of Windows' vaunted desktop share is due to corporate licenses. I think it would show that -- when people are buying with their own money -- they're preferring Macs 2-to-1 over PC's now.

I suspect that most people actually spending their own money are spending less than $1000, which more or less puts Apple out of the running.

And I suspect that the majority of people looking for sub-$1,000 computers are buying iPads, not crappy plastic HP's.

I would suspect the people looking for computers under 1k will get the plastic hp because they need a computer, and will get the cheap android tablet when they want a tablet. source: all my relatives and acquaintances that can't afford apple take those exact choices.
