Microsoft’s Bad News—15 Million Windows Users Now At Risk

Microsoft is trying to persuade its 800 million Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11 before the end-of-support deadline in October 2024. Recent statistics show a stall in Windows 11 upgrades, with about 10 to 15 million users (roughly 1%) not transitioning. Global market share for Windows 10 has increased from 61% to 62%, while Windows 11 has decreased from over 35.5% to below 35%. In the US, Windows 10 rose from 58% to 61%, and Windows 11 fell from nearly 40% to below 37%. This shift follows Microsoft's announcement of a 12-month extended support option for Windows 10 users. Approximately 400 million users lack the necessary hardware to upgrade, and many are delaying upgrades due to the limited availability of AI features and the belief that better hardware options will emerge. The uptake of the extended support option will influence future trends, and the shift indicates that 10 to 15 million users may be exposed to security risks.

Almost three years after launch, the Steam Deck is finally getting an official release in Australia

Valve announced that the Steam Deck will officially launch in Australia, with pre-orders starting in mid-November and immediate shipping promised. Three models will be available: a 256GB LCD model priced at 9, a 512GB OLED model at 9, and a 1TB OLED model at ,049. These prices are competitive compared to other handheld devices. Previously, Australian gamers accessed the Steam Deck through gray imports, which had challenges like inflated prices and lack of support. The official launch aims to provide a more secure purchasing process. New Zealand will not be included in this initial launch, but availability is hoped for next year. The OLED Steam Deck has received positive reviews, with one reviewer calling it the best console ever owned.
