    Interestingly, the percent of Windows goes down if you look at just the United States, where it's only 63% of OSes. And it also goes down similarly when you set it to the UK, or North America, or almost any other region. But it goes up to around 73% when you limit it to Europe or Asia. Weird, why is it higher in those areas?

    Because it's mainly a measure of how much people use Macs. Apple products were always significantly more popular and "hype" in the Anglo world than anywhere else. 5,5% global vs 16% in USA, for example

    Unless you're tech-savvy and actively change your OS, people just use whatever is shipped with their computer and, yea, Apple isn't nearly as popular outside of the English-speaking world as it is within it, at least when it comes to laptops. The share of Linux, and other smaller systems, is probably roughly the same.
