The hardware survey doesn't ask every single user, it just gets a sample. So it probably just happened to hit a few more Windows 7 people this month.

I guess I’m really just questioning why there are any at all.. hope they enjoy being part of a botnet..

From my experience there's this weird subset of people who don't like newer Windows versions, which is fair enough, but instead of learning to modify those or learning Linux, they believe they can turn back time, which isn't something you can just do when connecting it to the ever forward-marching internet.

Does valve publish a margin or error for the percentages? Steam is such a huge sample I feel like the effect would be miniscule
