Recent: Microsoft 'Delighted' by Windows 11 (Vista 11) Usage, Which is Only 1% Three Months After Official Launch and Six Months After Release Online

Yesterday:

Today:

Windows 31%

Summary: Microsoft has new excuses for Vista 11 'growth' (Windows cannibalisation) basically stopping; they and their spinners would say TPM (yes. they themselves imposed restrictions and later relaxed them) is at fault, not the operating system being nothing but hype and double trouble; in other words, now they blame their very own restrictions for people rejecting the operating system
