A survey of 10 million Windows systems by IT Asset Management outfit Lansweeper, has revealed that few have taken Microsoft up on its free Windows 11 upgrade offer. It puts the numbers of Win11 systems at 1.44 percent, with Win10 at 80.34 percent. There are still more people running WinXP, 7, and 8 combined than Win11.
Even data from Steam, where games systems and modern rigs are more common, puts Win11 at just 11.56 percent, with Win10 at 74.69 percent. It may be free, but with no standout features, Win11 isn’t attractive enough to lure people away from their familiar Win10 desktop. Is Windows, as Microsoft once claimed, pretty much completed as an OS? –CL
