200,000 Windows PCs in the US among the 600,000 total worldwide. Are there really that many Windows PCs still running vulnerable old OS versions, or were they zero-days in more modern OS versions? These articles never say much about the details.

- Archelaos 3y agoThere seem to be no detailled numbers of Windows installations by region available, only percentages. The current percentages for the USA according to this Website: https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/united-states-of-america https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desk... are: Win10 69.46% Win11 26.74% Win7 2.42% Win8.1 0.72% Win8 0.35% WinXP 0.18% This means 3.67% run an unsupported Windows OS. If we estimate one Windows computer per person in the USA on average (~ 331.9 mil.), this means that more than 12 mil. computers run an unsupported Windows OS. (Or use your own estimate.)
