It's bizarre that people continue to think of Windows PCs as being predominantly owned by individuals or even individuals with a specific interest in technology.

Correct! Compare it to a group that care about their PC, i.e. gamers, 50% of Steam users run Windows 10.

Maybe I'm misreading your comment but I think you're implying that people who care (like gamers) are less likely to be using Windows 10, but it's the opposite - 50% is far higher than the total market share Windows 10 has.

If I misunderstood your meaning, then this comment can just be a clarification instead of a correction :)

Presumably gamers are after newer directx versions, which are only provided in windows10, no?

You misunderstood. :-) Yes, gamers are above market share for Windows 10 because they care. They want the newest, the best.

The figure includes xbox one users.
