When this reaches 10%, that's a critical mass and things will start ramping up a lot. We'll see more native ports and compatibility will increase. Software companies care about 10% a lot more than twice as much as 5%

5% is kind of crazy already. We went from "almost 1% to 5% in not even a year

It is definitely going to rise even more these coming months as the Windows 10 ESU program reaches end-of-life in October this year.
