Next year Windows 10 goes End of Life. Microsoft will undoubtedly push windows 11 hard, but a lot of machines won’t support it leading to a few economic points of interest:

The demand for new machines will be high, driving up cost.

The supply of unsupported machines will be high, driving down the used market.

Are you all ready?

Sounds like there are going to be a lot of machines running a fresh install of Linux next year. Microsoft really does ♥️ Linux.

    Tbf they genuinely do.

    They've invested heavily in Linux and are one of its major contributors. I think they were in the top 5 of contributors.

    They realised years ago the Linux desktop isn't going to take off with the average user. So there's no need to compete directly.

    Azure actually runs on their own custom distribution of Linux.
