    That doesn’t really check out. People upgrading to 10 would explain 10’s share going up (at the expense of earlier versions), not 11’s going down.

    People buying new computers doesn’t work well as an explanation either; it’d require over 2% of all Windows users to have bought new Windows 10 computers in the last few months. When presumably a brand new computer would be on 11.

      since market share is a proportional statistic, any increase in the market share of one thing must correspond with a decrease in others. If I’ve sold 1 apple and 1 pear, the market share of each is 50%. If I sell an additional apple, the apple share increases to 66% while the pear share decreases to 33% despite no actual drop in pear sales.

        Like I said above, that’d require over 2% of all Windows installs to be new installations of Windows 10.

          ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i remain similarly skeptical that so many people would be actively downgrading their OS. for the vast, vast majority of people any qualms with W11 aren’t going to lead to learning how to reinstall a fresh OS. there’s got to be something more going on
