Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base

Windows currently powers over a billion active devices worldwide. Microsoft's annual report for 2022 indicated that over 1.4 billion devices were operating on Windows 10 or 11, suggesting a decline of around 400 million users over the past three years. Microsoft is encouraging users to transition to Windows 11 as support for earlier versions wanes. Despite the decline in Windows users, there has not been a corresponding increase in MacBook sales, which now contribute 7.7% to Apple's revenue. The market has many Chromebook options, particularly in educational institutions, which may lead future buyers to favor Google over Microsoft. The rise of free, web-based applications like Google Docs has prompted users to reconsider their loyalty to Microsoft.

Stopwatch trials showed that sprinting took 8.07 seconds, while flopping took 7.13 seconds, indicating a notable speed difference. Flopping drains stamina faster than running, consuming about a quarter of the stamina bar compared to diving. Players are using these unconventional tactics, which may prompt a hotfix from Sloclap.
