Just a few days ago, we saw that Windows 10 data is overwhelming. He will be 9 years old this summer (its official launch took place on July 29, 2015) and from the end of 2021 it has been struggling with what is called its successor, Windows 11. In practically any other market under these circumstances, Windows 10 should currently be Norma Desmond on the stairs, but given to the peculiarities that occur in this case, we have Gloria Swanson, who “steals” the main roles from Margot Robbie.

Since I have never been a father in my life, I can only speak “hearsay” about this matter, and the most common mention I have in this regard is that parents want their children to have a better life above all else, that they can achieve very high and very far. Children are expected, as stated in both Exodus (2:12) and Deuteronomy (5:16), to honor their father and mother. Therefore, whether we analyze it from a perspective based on the standard worldview of the parents, or from the values ​​of the Judeo-Christian tradition, there is no doubt that we are faced with such a dysfunctional relationship of parent and child, in comparison, passes off the Simpson family as the Ingalls.

Kronos executed his sons so they wouldn’t steal his power, Oedipus killed Laius to marry Jocasta, which leads us to The relationship between Windows 10 and Windows 11 fits much better into the yellow, pink and black chronicle that is Greek mythology.. And in this case, it seems we’re closer to patricide than filicide… and it’s getting closer to Windows 12’s grandson entering the game, leading us to a picture that Michael Bay would be happy to make, in which three generations form a triangle in which everyone points guns at each other.

Windows 10 is a clear example of successMaintaining a market share (across all versions of Windows) of nearly 70% according to StatCounter data just before turning 9 must make some folks at Microsoft very proud. However, the reflection in the mirror that he sees in Redmond is the failure of Windows 11. A success that, paradoxically, is disastrous news for its protagonists.

Zeus (going back to Greek mythology) had already decreed the death of the father and actually did so before the birth of the son, but it hasn’t helped yet that in October 2025 we are coming to the end of the chronicle of predicted death. At the moment, and although we can expect some growth from Windows 11, which will be mainly driven by the sale of new computers that are distributed with the said operating system, It is not unreasonable to think that Windows 10 will reach the end of its life cycle with a higher user share, or at least similar to Windows 11..

If Microsoft decided to launch Windows 12 later this yearcould still save the file, because if we follow the now-classic “one good, one bad” theory, a future version of the operating system could accelerate the exit from Windows 10, even without stopping at Windows 11. However, everything indicates that the debut of Windows 12 won’t arrive until 2025 at the earliest, so Windows 10 will “die” (unless you check, of course), which is an example of success, a success that paradoxically presents a problem. for Microsoft a problem because The success of Windows 10 is also the death of Windows 11.
