Windows 10 Makes Large Share Gains, While Windows 7 Declines Significantly (betanews.com)
An anonymous reader shared a report: It took quite some time for Windows 10 to overtake Windows 7, but it finally did it in December 2018, at least according to NetMarketShare's figures. In February however, Windows 10 actually lost share, while Windows 7 gained some, narrowing the gap between the two operating systems once more. In March though, roles were reversed, as Windows 10 made some big gains, and Windows 7 lost a sizable chunk of its share. In the month just gone, NetMarketShare shows Windows 10 going from 40.30 percent to 43.62 percent, a big gain of 3.32 percentage points. There is currently a gap of 7.11 percentage points between Windows 10 and Windows 7.
Chances are loads will switch to Linux, because after so long, basic shit won't even work on windows 7 because the lack of releasing drivers or something stupid. Plus it will get really insecure over time, it is windows. And you will be vulnerable to all kinds of remote exploits web and IP based. Maybe even get owned on some wireless exploit because you can't get updated drivers or something. Once there's not enough users on windows 7 to justify. Hardware companies will stop making/updating windows 7 drivers.
Or KDE, or Gnome 2, or MATE, or i3 OR OR OR. If you really can only complain about the user interface there are LOADS of others. I prefer KDE since forever.
