A huge number of consumers who can't upgrade to Windows 11 due to unsupported hardware will instead opt for an iPad or Chromebook. Everything is either web- or app-based, and people don't want the complexity of Windows. Microsoft will lose a big chunk of the Windows user base this way.

- TMWNN 4y agoI think a big driver of US Chromebook adoption is schools purchasing fleets of them, introducing Chrome OS to families. Are European schools not buying Chromebooks?
