Windows 7 still has a similar market share to desktop Linux. I suspect that some of those users are holdouts, rejecting the Cortana nonsense but too stubborn or lazy to switch. But I’d also wager that, in the longer term, a decent portion of that 3% ends up on Linux.

Or they just continue to use their out of date OS. XP still has a 0.6% market share, and I have no idea what remotely modern software works on XP. Browsing the modern web will be a pain with the new encryption standards.
There’s a lot of systems that still uses it, cause it does its work and would be a pain to change. Of course they should avoid any contact with the net.
I wonder how they figure the 0.6% if those systems aren’t sending telemetry via the internet. Is there an organization that does a hardware census or something?

At least on 10 it is relatively simple to disable Cortana and forget it exists. I can’t believe Microsoft is trying to make Copilot key a thing.
I’m dreading the time I’m gonna have to buy a laptop now
That makes me wonder. Can you escape it with a non-us keyboard?
Give me ReactOS or give me … fedora.
Not super catchy…
Wow, that’s an interesting metric.
