Eminyakeni yamuva nje, ukubusa kweMicrosoft Windows ezweni lamakhompyutha lomuntu siqu sekuqalile ukubonisa ukuqhekeka okukhathazayo. Le nkampani imemezele ukuthi uhlelo lwayo lokusebenza lulahlekelwe abasebenzisi noma amadivayisi asebenzayo ayizigidi ezingu-400 kusukela ngo-2022 , okuyisibalo esimele cishe ingxenye yesithathu yesisekelo sayo esifakiwe eminyakeni emithathu nje kuphela. Ngokusho kwedatha yakamuva esemthethweni, iWindows okwamanje inamadivayisi asebenzayo angaba yizigidi eziyi-1.000, ngaphansi kakhulu kwerekhodi elifinyelelwe eminyakeni emithathu nje edlule.
Lokhu kwehla akwenzekanga ngobusuku obubodwa; kungumphumela wenhlanganisela yezici ezithinta abasebenzisi basekhaya nabangochwepheshe . Ama-PC e-Windows, ayeyisizinda sekhompyutha amashumi eminyaka, alahlekelwa yimakethe lapho omakhalekhukhwini namathebulethi eba namandla futhi eba khona yonke indawo. Abantu abaningi namuhla bakhetha ukusebenzisa ama-smartphone abo emisebenzini eyayingenzeka kuphela kwi-PC, kusukela ekuphatheni amadokhumenti kuya ekuzijabuliseni.
Umphumela we-domino Windows 11 kanye nokuma komkhakha
Esinye sezimbangela zalokhu kulahlekelwa okukhulu kwabasebenzisi kube ukuqaliswa nokwamukelwa kwe-Windows 11. Uhlelo olusha lokusebenza luzungezwe impikiswano kanye nokunganeliseki komsebenzisi , okubalwa nezinkinga zokuzinza, izidingo zehadiwe ezinqunyelwe— njenge-chip ye-TPM 2.0 ephoqelekile —kanye nolwazi lomsebenzisi oluhlulekile ukukholisa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izici ezingathandeki njengokuhlanganiswa kwezikhangiso ngaphakathi kohlelo ngokwalo kanye nombono wokuthi ukuthuthuka kuncane kuye kwanciphisa kakhulu ukufuduka.
Ama-53% abasebenzisi bamakhompyutha edeskithophu bahlala bethembekile ku-Windows 10 , yize ukwesekwa kwayo okusemthethweni kuzophela ngo-Okthoba 2025. Amakhompyutha amaningi, ngisho nalawo asebenza kahle, ashiywe ngaphandle kokuthuthukiswa kwe-Windows 11 ngenxa yezinkinga zobuchwepheshe, okuphoqa isinqumo esingakhululekile: thuthukisa ihadiwe, qhubeka nokusebenzisa inguqulo endala—nazo zonke izingozi ezihilelekile—noma hlola ezinye izindlela ezifana ne-Linux noma i-macOS.
Isimo siya siba sibi njengoba amanye amapulatifomu ethuthuka. I-Apple, enama-Mac ayo ahlonyiswe ngama-chip e-ARM, yenza intuthuko, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni zobungcweti , kuyilapho i-ChromeOS ikhula emkhakheni wezemfundo kanti i-Linux yandisa isabelo sayo semakethe emkhakheni womphakathi naphakathi kwezinkampani zaseYurophu ezikhathazekile ngokuthembela kwezobuchwepheshe kanye nezindleko zamalayisense. Amazwe afana neJalimane, iDenmark, neFrance aseqalile ukuqeda i-Windows ekuphathweni kwawo komphakathi, ekhetha isofthiwe yomthombo ovulekile.
Usongo lwangaphandle lwe-Microsoft nezinselele zangaphakathi
Okwamanje, umhlaba wemidlalo yevidiyo, inqaba yendabuko yeWindows, uqala ukubonisa izimpawu zokushintsha ngaphansi kwengcindezi evela ku-SteamOS , uhlelo lokusebenza olusekelwe ku-Linux lwe-Valve, oluphumelela kuma-consoles aphathwayo futhi olufisa ukunqoba nama-desktops endabuko.
Okwamanje, imizamo yeMicrosoft yokuvuselela imakethe ibe nomthelela omncane. Izici ezintsha zobuhlakani bokwenziwa kulokho okubizwa nge-PC Copilot+ zehlulekile ukukhiqiza intshiseko elindelekile phakathi kwabathengi, futhi abasebenzisi abaningi bayaqhubeka nokuveza ukunganeliseki kwabo ezinkundleni zokuxhumana kanye nasezinkundleni ezifana neReddit, lapho begxeka khona isu lenkampani kanye nokuntuleka kokusungula izinto ezintsha kwangempela.
Ngonyaka ka-2025, izibalo zibonisa ukuthi i-Windows 11 ayifinyelelanga ku-36% wemakethe , kuyilapho i-Windows 10 isalokhu icishe ibe ngu-60%. Izibalo zakamuva ezivela ku-StatCounter ziqinisekisa ukuthi, ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuphela kokusekelwa kwe-Windows 10, amakhompyutha angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-500 asathembele kule nguqulo. Akunakwenzeka ukuthi izigidi zabasebenzisi zizoshintsha amakhompyutha ngesikhathi esisodwa, ngakho-ke ukuhlukana kwesisekelo sabasebenzisi kulindeleke ukuthi kugqame kakhulu.
Ikusasa elingaqinisekile leWindows
I-Microsoft iyabazi ubucayi besimo futhi icabanga ukusheshisa ukuthuthukiswa kanye nokwethulwa kwe-Windows 12 ukuzama ukuhlehlisa lo mkhuba. Kodwa-ke, ukuncintisana okuqondile okuvela kwezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza kanye nokuqhubekela phambili okungenakuvinjelwa kwamadivayisi eselula kanye nefu kusho ukuthi umlando we-Windows' gemony uphonselwa inselelo ngendlela engakaze ibonwe ngaphambili.
Ukuvuselelwa okulandelayo kwedeskithophu yedijithali kuzoncika esinqumweni esibalulekile sezigidi zabasebenzisi : ukuthuthukisa ihadiwe yabo ukuze ihlale ngaphakathi kwesistimu ye-Windows, ukumelana noshintsho nokwamukela izingozi, noma ukufuna nje enye indlela eguquguqukayo nesimanje. Ukulahlekelwa abasebenzisi abayizigidi ezingu-400 eminyakeni embalwa nje kubonisa ngokusobala ukuthi isikhathi sokubusa okuphelele kwe-Windows siyasondela esiphelweni nokuthi iMicrosoft kuzodingeka ivuselele isu layo uma ifuna ukuphinda ibeke indinganiso kwikhompyutha yomuntu siqu.
