A Windows 11 tsunami? No, more of a ripple as Microsoft's latest OS hits 5% PC market

Re: but those are hard-core factual numbers.

Not sure how these stats are acquired, but let's say that System Builders have been building W11 pc's that can be ported back to W10. At some stage in the System Build/Back Porting operation it is feasible that the W11 counter is triggered.

Channel Stuffing used to be a good way of inflating market share (I have been on the sharp end of that in the past from a well-known software vendor who shall remain nameless). Not sure how that would work with downloaded OS'es. I suppose all retail outlets will want it on their shelves and MS would donate for that exposure. Then you've got all those educational establishments that have no doubt been gifted trial licences.

(No DV from me btw. Interested in what commentards think of the suggestions put forward, as 5% does seem somewhat questionable).
