It would be interesting to know how much of the stagnation in market share movement is because people just aren't buying new computers right now if they don't absolutely have to. Windows 10 is unattractive for well-documented reasons, and it seems Microsoft is still stubbornly refusing to acknowledge or deal with them. Apple's recent hardware has been disappointing, and after a series of questionable developments, macOS no longer has the reputation for being rock solid that it did a few years ago either. The only thing we've seriously considered buying recently was a small number of Linux laptops, which do fine if you're mostly using web-based software anyway and/or you're doing techie things where Linux might have better tools available anyway. I'm still slightly wondering whether, somewhere in the corner offices of one of the IT giants, there might be a team of executives discussing whether they can make a serious play for the general purpose desktop computing market in 2020 while Microsoft and Apple are both asleep at the wheel. Sadly, as much as I'd love that to happen, I suspect no-one could be far enough along to pull it off in time and yet to have nothing leaked yet. Which means that yes, in 2020, a lot of bad things are probably going to happen in the industry one way or another.
