Worldwide, Windows 7 remains the most popular version of Microsoft's OS, but that's primarily due to its huge number of enterprise users. The opposite had been true of Steam gamers; so, why the sudden change? It turns out that it's mostly down to one game: PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Or more specifically, it's a result of the Battle Royale title's popularity in China and the number of people who use Windows 7 in the country.

China has good taste. Windows 10 is a complete disaster, particularly regarding privacy and UI.

Must agree. Windows 10 had so much potential and Microsoft wasted in apps, keyloggers, forced updates, spies things, candy crush, etc...
