      The latest estimate of how many people that use the internet at all is around 5 billion. Where did you get that number?

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Internet_usage

      Android is by far the most used operating system for web use and for servers it’s estimated at 77 % linux, not 50 % as stated above.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems

      Windows dominated the desktop segment, you should realize that desktop use is in decline in favor of mobile usage.

        I got that number by picking a random large number.

        The point is it’s silly to suggest that Microsoft is not the global industry standard for most businesses.

        I work in international business. Windows with Outlook is the standard

        I get that lots of people here have a wide array of personal problems with Microsoft, the way they do business, their software etc. Most people on the planet, however, do not share these opinions, can barely operate Microsoft Word, and just want plug n play software, which is why Microsoft is indeed a highly trusted, industry-standard, company.
