Statcounter reports that Windows 11 continues to lose its market share for the second month in a row. Windows 10, meanwhile, is gaining more users and is now back above the 70% mark.

I have no real reason to upgrade to 11 from 10. My system doesn't have any hardware that 11 can take advantage of better than 10. At this point I'm just waiting for 11 to finish baking or 12 to roll out. 11 doesn't natively have a vertical taskbar.. like... come'on. Who needs a 32" wide taskbar?

I have been running a vertical task bar since Windows XP and have been on KDE as well(like now). The fact it's not an option for Windows 11(my work laptop) drives me insane.

So many wasted pixels. :/

I second that. Fucking insane...

My main monitor is a 27 inch so the task bar is only like 23 inches, but the amount of stuff I have open at any given time has my taskbar 2/3 of the way across my screen. That said, I've had mine at the top of the screen ever since my iMac G3 and Windows 11 doesn't allow that either
