[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 13 points 1 year ago (1 child) My prediction: Ten percent increase for Windows 11 with 25 percent still on 10 and barely an increase for Linux. I hope I'm wrong. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RedWeasel@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 child) I don’t know. Most of the increase above appears to be win 10 users. Win 10 lost 1.09% and the percentage gain was close to evenly split between linux and win11 with a little going to MacOS. I could see a bunch of people paying $15 to keep win 10 going , but not that much. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 10 points 1 year ago I'm not expecting anyone to pay to keep getting updates. Most of them will just keep using Windows 10. There are still people refusing to leave Windows 7. permalink fedilink source parent
