No small number. The reason that Windows is so popular is because: it's used at work it came installed with the pc (I) only know Windows and don't want to try anything else As Linux use increases, Windows will lose ground more and more.

The reason that Windows is so popular is because:
it’s used at work
it came installed with the pc
(I) only know Windows and don’t want to try anything else

As Linux use increases, Windows will lose ground more and more.
