has noticed an interesting signal in among all the noise of
Microsoft’s PR boasts: the installed base of Microsoft Windows has
been shrinking, and quite substantially.
As recently as 3 years ago, Microsoft trumpeted an installed base of
1.4 billion Windows PCs; but the best it can say today is “over a
billion”.
So somewhere around 300 million machines have disappeared from that
count in that period. Were they all retired? Or were a few of them
switched to some other OS?
None of the people that I know _personally_ have computers any more.
They all have smart phones. They are all myopic, never needing to look more than 3 feet / 1 meter in any direction.
