Despite Microsoft’s push to get customers onto Windows 11, growth in the market share of the software giant’s latest operating system has stalled, while Windows 10 has made modest gains, according to fresh figures from Statcounter.
This is not the news Microsoft wanted to hear. After half a year of growth, the line for Windows 11 global desktop market share has taken a slight downturn, according to the website usage monitor, going from 35.6 percent in October to 34.9 percent in November. Windows 10, on the other hand, managed to grow its share of that market by just under a percentage point to 61.8 percent.
The dip in usage comes just as Microsoft has been forcing full-screen ads onto the machines of customers running Windows 10 to encourage them to upgrade. The stats also revealed a small drop in the market share of its Edge browser, despite relentlessly plugging the application in the operating system.

And if the job requires an incorrect tool, you can always shove wondows in the VM, preferably with no or heavily firewalled network access.
I agree. My ‘professional’ W10vm is specifically for the office, Outlook, Teams, etc. whatever the current contract requires.
However trying to run external USB soundcards and controllers, the latency just kills it dead, and don’t even think about a live performance or using STEMS, even if they have been precomputed. So I’ll always have a Wintop unfortunately. I could move over to Apple, but that doesn’t seem like that would be a win either.
