Microsoft boosts Apple and Linux with Windows 11 upgrade tax
Briefly

The changing landscape of technology influences platform selection. StatCounter provides conflicting data regarding desktop operating systems, stating 16.57% of desktops run OS X and only 7.72% run macOS. Since OS X was last released nine years ago, this claim appears questionable. Further, other StatCounter data indicates macOS is more widely installed, with 87% of users on macOS Catalina. The discrepancies in this data challenge its reliability, though the overall trends in desktop computing are likely accurate.
