  Gregg Keizer has the details:

  According to analytics vendor Net Applications, Windows 10 lost eight-tenths of a percentage point in user share… during March, ending the month on 33.3% of the world’s PCs… But the screeching stop was accompanied by an even larger increase in Windows 7’s user share: The veteran OS added 1.8 percentage points to its tally, ending March with 43.4%, slightly more than Net Applications had pegged it at in November 2017.

  Sobering.
