Vista 7 in 2022
Vista 7 (released well over a decade ago) still has majority share in 2022 among Windows versions! In at least one country...

Summary: What's curious about these latest figures is that no place really adopted Vista 11 (in any meaningful way; a tough economy discourages PC sales and Microsoft has mass layoffs)
