That's overall market share. Agree Windows use is high but in general the more tech-forward the company is the less Windows there is at it.

So only 13% of the world desktop users might be employeed at a tech-forward company.

Might, because the number is even less, when we differenciate between companies and home use.

That may be surprising for people here, but technology is not synonymous with software.

Only if you count food delivery apps, crypto Ponzi scheme unicorns, Ad-services and SaaS start-ups as "tech-forward" exclusively, because you're omitting a lot of other tech companies your daily life in the civilized world depends on, which operate mainly on Windows, like where I work now.

Is designing and building semiconductors not "technology"? Or MRI machines? Or jets? Or car engines?
