Microsoft EVP Yusuf Mehdi said in a blog post last week that Windows powers over a billion active devices globally. This might sound like a healthy number, but according to ZDNET, the Microsoft annual report for 2022 said that more than 1.4 billion devices were running Windows 10 or 11. Given that these documents contain material information and have allegedly been pored over by the tech giant’s lawyers, we can safely assume that Windows’ user base has been quietly shrinking in the past three years, shedding around 400 million users.
question: if i’m using steam in linux under wine, it counts as windows or linux?
There’s a native client so I’m not sure why you would do that. I would guess that it would think it is running on Windows but I could be wrong.
Wine is a translation layer, not an emulator so you’ll likely appear in the Linux users list.
