People leaving Windows is good. It's a shit OS built by a shit company managed by shit people. But to be replaced by a locked up phone/tablet that is solely meant for you to consume, instead of producing is a giant set back. I hope their analysis is BS (probably is) and that people are actually switching to another OS like Linux. Linux Desktop usage has been steadily going up for a couple of years now. One can hope...
I doubt it's BS. Those people really care about numbers.
The current tech scape is depressing.
Linux will never be close to the usage numbers of Windows sadly
