Microsoft is in full panic mode! 🚨 Leaked internal data from February 2026 reveals Windows 11 is actively hemorrhaging users, and an unprecedented enterprise exodus is underway. Users aren’t just refusing the upgrade—they are literally paying to stay on Windows 10. 💸
In this breakdown, we expose exactly why the world’s most dominant OS is in absolute free fall:
The Great Exodus: 🏃♂️ Why Fortune 500s, top AI labs, and developers are abandoning Microsoft for Linux and Mac.
Productivity Killers: 📉 How forced Copilot integration and measurable performance drops are destroying professional workflows.
The Privacy Nightmare: 👁️ The silent activation of Windows Recall and the massive global security backlash.
The Subscription Trap: 🛑 Leaked roadmaps confirming Windows 12 will force users into a mandatory monthly subscription.
The monopoly is ending, and Microsoft’s own greed made it inevitable. 📉

I freed up 150G of sisk space. My laptop is not dual boot any more.
Why am I going to throw away a perfectly good computer that's running Windows 10? I'm using it now (I'm typing using a BT keyboard) on my 65" TV. I have 4k HDR support and 7.1 audio through a Denon receiver. I use it for Zoom meetings (Logitec camera attached) with a BT headset (don't really need that).
I'm not locked into the MS ecosystem (my Mac is a different story. Apple is even worse than MS but they've had years of practice!—I love my M4 Macbook Air, but I also love my 2013 Intel Macbook Air that's now running Linux!). If NVIDIA don't update the drivers I don't care but of course there's always the 'next format' 🙂
This Windows nonsense started with Windows 8. I use Linux Mint Cinnamon which in my view is the best Linux for the majority of users. I do not like Ubuntu with the GNOME2 Desktop. I have not tried Ubuntu with the Cinnamon Desktop. I hate the GNOME2 desktop and look and feel. The GNOME1 desktop and look and feel were great. I have also stalled Ubuntu and I changed its' look and feel to look like GNOME1. I also hated the Unity Desktop. Kubuntu and Zorin are also nice. Linux Mint Mate and Xubuntu are good choices for less powerful computers.
Bring windows 7 back….
Hire more H1B's 🤣😂🤣
Another reason is windows 11 gives Microsoft more control over collecting user data while feeding us a few more aesthetics options but in Reality we have less user control than windows 10 and we all know it.
Garbage video based around user want to pay for security update when the real Reason is TPM 2.0 And Secure Boot requirement has stopped the Windows 11 OS Ugrade and Users refuse to buy a new computer when windows 10 still works perfectly, That is the real reason!
Bill Gates has not been CEO of Microsoft since 2000. What else in this video is wrong?
Looks like Microsoft has forgotten that Windows is an OS. It has become an Ad and Malware.
I bought a Windows 11 laptop twice, while the website didn't mention it had windows 11. First thing I tried was install Linux on it. Not possible. Factory reset and sent back to seller and got my refund… Twice
If I can't pay taxes due to Microsoft THEY GET THE BILL
We had to remove windows way back. Because of security and privacy concerns. Our head of IT and head of network security called a meeting one day we knew it was going to be major. They said Microsoft and google products we're to be removed and are now banned from company premises. Cell phones were to be left in the car or at home. Laptop's and desktops were converted to Linux. Staff received training. We're no longer allowed to access the internet only on certain machines they colour coded with security level access 1 to 5. Company cell phones are basic and run encryption.
I’m going to upgrade to windows xp.
Should have titled this "How to Unalive Microsoft, By:Microsoft"
why the FUCK would Bill Gates care?
He's out, paid off, etc.
Just more American Click fucking BATE.
YouTube, ignore this channel. Thank you.
Making wrong decisions under the influence of a number of mobile companies (who have nothing invented except collecting personal information) has brought one of the best companies ever created to this state. I don't like Linux, Android and similar systems ever created. I remain loyal to Microsoft and Apple
If Any of you have any Logic in your Minds – All Co-Pilot is – is another name for CORTANA…
I migrated to Linux mint on my laptop which is now running cooler with longer battery life and no interruptions from copilot and edge. No more popups interfering and slowing down my work. AND NO NEWS Channels I CAN'T STOP. The bulge wear is no longer wanted. Win 11 is a disaster.
Switch to Linux and screw Microsoft
Microrot is out of my house.
China has totally got rid of windows both in desk tops and servers. Imagine the size of the market. If China shifts many countries will follow suit especially in developing countries. Harmony OS has totally replaced Windows in China. Linux is free and set to become more and more popular around the world. Both Windows and iOS and Androids are now facing stiff competitions. They might even go bankrupt.
Time to close the "WINDOWN"
Makes no sense why Gates would be upset. He’s just a controlling interest Board Member… someone else is steering the ship… might be headed for ground; and may be too late to get out in front like a tugboat and steer it away from a collision.
Satya Nadella is clueless his decisions are affecting Microsoft. If I was the upper management of Microsoft I would be asking for his resignation
O its gona be sooner than that within months new pc sill ship with lynx and thats the end
Most compainies will soon ban 11 from all law offices medical and anything with confidential information to avoid ai spyware. Countries are banning 11 from gov data.
You net one free year extra support just click in the upgrade screen pay nothing
Switch to debin no ai. All computers should ship with no windows, and we need to demand this tpm crap be removed from new cpus. We dont need serial numbers or ms encription. Its junk.
Already switched one server and multiple workstations to mint
Linux is great!
AI is shit.
AI rubbish
Hey Microsoft, Just Go Ahead And Shut It Down Now….It's Over! If You Can't Respect Your Customers….
I’m not given up on windows ✌🏾💯 I’m staying …
Nicely done, but… your title is misleading. Gates is not the CEO, it's a prick named Nadella. Using Gates as clickbait is rather… low. He's retired, period. Yank Nadella's chain for pete's sake and stop pushing a retired, rich old man around the screen.
I gave up on these jokers at windows 3.11. try Linux mint.
I love Windows Recall data base of internet site displays I have visited. Malware will have no way of exploiting the data because it is now encrypted.
I actually enjoy learning new things. So hello Linux.
Companies need to get away from Microsoft!
Don’t pay for the security upgrades! That too is a waste. Just run windows 10, don’t pay. Maybe Microsoft will get the clue!
I have started transitioning all machines to Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS, including older ones. It's a thing of beauty. I am COMPLETELY FINISHED with microsoft. I've suffered with their shitware for decades and finally there's an alternative that application developers are supporting. Couldn't be happier. I have one Windows 10 machine, stripped of garbage spyware. I'll keep that one. I did not sign up for extended "security updates". Microsoft gets no more of my money. Neither does Turbo Tax. They decided they would not port to Win10. Using H&R Block Desktop this year. They were smart enough to support Windows 10. Hope this continues for a few years. I really hope they port to linux, starting with Ubuntu.
windows 11 will so get into a fight with the end of my sledgehammer linux here i come
