This has not been a good few weeks for Microsoft. Fresh from the Recall recoil, CrowdStrike struck, with various ups and downs with Copilot momentum in between. But the constant throughout has been an impending security nightmare for the vast majority of its Windows users, now just months away.
Users have been given until August 26 to patch or cease using Windows systems. Clearly, this 2018 vulnerability does not impact Windows 11, nor any other Windows system updated in the last six years. The Windows 10 risk, though, is real.
Putting aside CVE-2018-0824 being woken from the dead and the much more current SnakeKeyLogger RAT, the real challenge for many Windows 10 users is more one of hardware than the softer UI side of their Windows OS. If their machines are not suitable for Windows 11—as many are not, then they find themselves in an upgrade trap, having to buy new hardware for no ostensibly good reason other than Windows 10 coming off support. This becomes a resentful purchase to say the least.
Window 11 isn’t at all new, and all those converts and non-converts know its pros and cons; so setting aside a Copilot AI-driven boost, the question is whether this is a trend or a blip. Certainly, when you look at Statcounter’s Windows 10 chart decline over the last year , the line chart is not something you could ski down. Similarly, Windows 11 growth is an easy stroll up a gently slope, to put it mildly.
