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Or they just continue to use their out of date OS.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?
It’s my understanding that many of those surveys do so from tracking user agent strings from browsers. Whole they can be modified, most people have no idea how to do so.
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.
Copilot key
I'm dreading the time I'm gonna have to buy a laptop now

Give me ReactOS or give me ... fedora.
Not super catchy...
Wow, that's an interesting metric.
