Windows 11 is breaking from its bedrock and moving away

The Wintel Empire, once dominant in personal computing, has lost its competitive edge by 2025, with Intel struggling in desktop, server, and mobile markets as users shift to alternatives like Arm and AMD. The introduction of Windows on Arm64 marks a significant but reactionary change, as Intel faces challenges in adapting. Windows 11's launch has led to many modern PCs being deemed obsolete, causing user discontent and rushed migrations. In contrast, Apple has successfully supported older machines during its architecture transition. Microsoft has released a streamlined version of Windows 11 for Xbox handheld devices, raising concerns about its future for non-gaming applications. Intel's uncertain future may lead to collaborations that could enhance competition and innovation. Microsoft’s development approach appears reactive, raising questions about the long-term viability of its ecosystem. Despite these changes, many users may not perceive significant differences in their daily experiences with Windows.
